IPL 2021, KKR vs DC: Sharjah Cricket Stadium pitch history and T20 records

The Kolkata Knight Riders will lock horns with the Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2021 UAE leg's third double-header tomorrow at one of the selected IPL venues, that is, Sharjah Cricket Stadium.

KKR and DC have done well in the second leg of the 2021 Indian Premier League so far.

Both teams resumed their IPL 2021 campaigns with victories. While DC are unbeaten in the UAE so far, KKR lost to the Chennai Super Kings in the previous game after winning their first two matches.

The pitch at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium has been slow this year. Anything above 160 should be a competitive score on this ground.
