Sharjah Cricket Stadium boundary length
Sharjah Cricket Stadium is one of the most iconic stadiums in the world, and it has hosted a plethora of International matches. In recent years, there is a lot of cricket happening in the UAE, and Sharjah is also hosting a lot of games.
The highlight of this ground is the smaller boundary dimensions at this ground. During IPL 2020, the batters used to hit sixes on the lanes of Sharjah as this is one of the smallest grounds in the world. Although, after IPL 2020, the batters have not enjoyed their stay at this stadium.
Although, the boundary length changes from match to match, but roughly the straight and square boundaries are around 65 metres, whereas the mid-wicket boundary is around 62 metres. So, it is clear that the boundaries of this ground are very small, and it is very easy for the batters to clear the boundaries at this very ground.
Although, the tough pitch neutralizes the impact of smaller boundaries. This is a pitch that is famous for its low and slow bounce which makes the job a lot tougher for the batters. So, despite the smaller boundaries, there have not been many high-scoring encounters at this ground.
