Preview:
Sharjah will be up against Dubai in the 8th Match of the Emirates D10 2021 on Friday. Sharjah are carrying their D20 tournament form and have won two back-to-back matches in this competition. They bowled well to restrict the Fujairah team to a low score in their opening game and won the match by 9 runs, while in the 2nd match, it was their batsmen gave them an 8-wicket win against Ajman. The top 4 batsmen batted at a strike rate of more than 150 which made the run-chase so simple. With 2 wins they are at 2nd spot in the standing, with 4 points and having a net run-rate of 2.100.
Meanwhile, Dubai’s story is completely opposite to that of Sharjah. They are facing a rough patch upfront in this tournament having lost 2 consecutive matches. In the tournament opener, they were terribly blasted by the Emirates Blues’ batsmen, which caused them a 9-wicket loss, while in their 2nd encounter, they were completely undone by some exceptional bowling performances from Fujairah and lost the match by 26 runs. They have been pushed down to the 4th spot in the standings with no points in their bag.
