Match Details:
The 21st match of the Emirates D20 2020 will be played between Fujairah and Sharjah at ICC Academy, Dubai on Sunday.
This match is scheduled to start at 09:00 PM Local Time (10:30 PM IST) and it will be streamed live on FanCode.
Preview:
A glance at their squad would give you an idea that the Fujairah team is a formidable unit. However, the dominance that they have exhibited in the inaugural edition of Emirates D20 is not what many would have predicted. They have won all of their 5 games and are occupying the second spot, though playing a game less than the table-toppers.
Their next opponents will be Sharjah, a team that has had their share of ups and downs. Sharjah have won 3 of their 5 games. While their form is nowhere as flawless as their opponents’, Sharjah are still occupying a respectable third position. Having said that, it will take a brilliant effort to get points against Fujairah.
