I happen to come across some stats about Sharjah, and it is very dominated by Pakistanis allround.
I think its about time that we need to treat Sharjah as a home ground rather than a neutral venue.

Well yeah its nice to know that Sharjah is so lucky for us in the past but in a match it counts for nothing. See we were the most successful team before the cricket worldcup with the highest success rate. It all just blew away in 3 weeks time :(

Actually the other 2 times Pakistan won 3 straight weren't 3 straight Sharjah Cups in a row, Pakistan might have skipped one in the middle but not sure.
