Pitch Report:
Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah
This wicket is looking slow and low since IPL. Batters are struggling on this wicket. Change of pace bowlers and Spinners are getting good support here. You can see scores in the range of 130-150.
Surprisingly in the last 2 matches wicket played little better but in most of the matches it was way too slow. So, I will confirm the pitch report on the telegram channel.

Newzealand Team Preview:
They have a very good team on the paper. However spin playing ability of their batters except Williamson is still under doubt. Their batters will have to play well on these slow wickets.
