SHARJAH: The magic of Sharjah cricket will come alive once again on Friday, October 20 when Sri Lanka and Pakistan take on each other in the fourth one-dayer of this exciting five-match series.

The world-famous venue, which is still the leading one-day stadium in the world, will also play host to the 5th ODI on Monday, Oct 23.

Commenting on the current series, Waleed Bukhatir, Vice Chairman, Sharjah Cricket Stadium, said he was confident that with players on both sides wanting to prove their supremacy, this would be a cracker of a match.

“I expect there will not be a seat vacant on Friday night and Sharjah stadium will come alive again. And we, at the stadium are ready to play the ideal hosts for another big night of top class cricket,” he said.
