Nagarkoti Brilliant Bowling Alley!
This is not the usual Sharjah course, which has provided us with some high-scoring thrillers. Young Nagarkoti is varying his pace very well to fool hitters and has been successful so far. Slowing down the pace of the ball is the main strategy here, as the ball stops considerably.

Poor Prasidh Krishna bowling alley. You can’t afford to go bowling on the pads of someone who’s hitting the ball that well. He was going lower after throwing on the leg stump and he took it nicely off his pads to beat the thin leg short fielder and pick up another limit.
