AFG vs ZIM Toss Prediction: Sharjah Toss Factor
The toss could be important because the supplied Sharjah statistics favour teams batting first.
| Sharjah Venue Stats | Record |
|---|---|
| Matches | 53 |
| Batting First Win % | 60% |
| Bowling First Win % | 40% |
| Average 1st Innings Score | 158 |
| Average 2nd Innings Score | 132 |
| Highest Total | 221/7 |
| Highest Successful Chase | 206/8 |
| Lowest Defended | 132/7 |
Teams batting first have won approximately 60% of the matches at this venue.
The average first-innings score is 158, compared with an average second-innings score of 132.
That gap suggests that batting conditions can become more difficult as the match progresses.
The current series has supported that trend as well. Afghanistan batted first in both matches and successfully defended their totals on both occasions.
Because of that, the captain winning the toss may seriously consider batting first and putting scoreboard pressure on the opposition.
Pace vs Spin at Sharjah
Fast bowlers have taken a larger share of wickets in the last ten matches at the venue.
| Bowling Type | Wickets | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Pace | 97 | 75% |
| Spin | 33 | 25% |
Pacers have taken 97 wickets, accounting for approximately 75% of the wickets in the recent sample, compared with 33 wickets for spin.
That makes the new-ball and death-bowling phases particularly important in this match.
