Pitch Report—Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium
The Dharamsala Stadium pitch has historically been renowned for being friendly to batsmen. Batsmen can be assured of a reward for their efforts, particularly in the powerplay overs. The spinners may, however, get some support later in the game as the pitch slows up. The mean first-innings score here is approximately 180-190, and hence, a score within this vicinity should be competitive.
Weather in Dharamsala: Dharamsala weather forecast for the match shows a slight possibility of rain, with temperatures at 17°C and extremely high humidity levels. Interruptions due to rain could be a deciding factor.
