Sharjah Cricket Stadium IPL 2020: The Sharjah Cricket Stadium has witnessed a 200+ score for the fifth consecutive time in IPL 2020.

During the 16th match of the ongoing 13th season of the Indian Premier League between Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders in Sharjah, Delhi Capitals have continued with the trend of scoring 200+ totals at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium as they ended up with 228/4 in 20 overs after being put in to by Kolkata Knight Riders captain Dinesh Karthik.

Having scored 57/1 in the powerplay, Capitals’ opening batsmen provided them with a quickfire start as expected. While Shikhar Dhawan departed after scoring 26 (16) just before the powerplay ended, Prithvi Shaw registered his sixth IPL half-century, 66 (41), with the help of four fours and four sixes.

Shaw, who shared a 73-run partnership alongside captain Shreyas Iyer, it was a brisk 72-run stand between Iyer and wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant which ensured a formidable finish for DC.

Mentioning individual sixes hit by batsmen doesn’t really makes sense as there are too many of those at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium. Given how batsmen attack each and every bowler to all parts of the ground, the bowlers have already developed a disliking for the stadium.

Iyer, who scored his 14th IPL half-century, amassed a phenomenal 88* (38) with the help of seven fours and six sixes to lead from the front. With bowling figures of 4-0-29-2, KKR all-rounder Andre Russell was their best bowler tonight.
