ECB Blues vs Sharjah, Emirates D10 League
First-placed ECB Blues take on second-placed Sharjah in the Emirates D10 tournament at the ICC Academy. The match, on August 1, gets underway at 18:00 local time.
ECB Blues are the only team to have beaten Sharjah so far. They have five wins and one shock defeat to Ajman from their six matches so far. Last time out, they thrashed Abu Dhabi – hammering 150/3 from their ten overs in a 55-run win as Vriitya Aravind’s stunning batting form continued.
Sharjah’s stars have been their bowlers so far, especially Umair Ali, and they beat Ajman off the final ball last time out to move to four wins from five matches. Victory in this game would therefore put them level on points with ECB Blues with a game in hand on the favourites too.
