Dharamshala pitch report
The pitch of HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala is considered suitable for batsmen. We have seen this in the last match. When the Punjab team came out to play their first match at Dharamshala this season against Lucknow, the team losing 5 wickets in 20 overs and put 236 runs on the scoreboard. In such a situation, the role of the toss will be important. In the 13 matches played here, the team who batted first has won 8 matches, while the team chasing the target has won 5 times. Bowling in the right area during powerplay may help fast bowlers. Dew plays an important role here, but in today’s match, its possibility is rarely seen.
