IPL 2021, RR vs MI: Sharjah Cricket Stadium pitch history and T20 records

The Mumbai Indians will take the field against the Rajasthan Royals at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Tuesday with the aim of keeping their IPL 2021 playoff hopes alive. MI are the two-time defending champions, but they have struggled throughout the ongoing Indian Premier League season.

Both RR and MI have earned ten points from their first 12 matches this season. The upcoming fixture at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium will decide which team inches a step closer to the top four.

The pitch at Sharjah has been on the slower side. Unlike IPL 2020, fans have not witnessed any high-scoring games at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, and there has been only one 160+ score at this ground this year.
