Pitch Report & Weather Forecast
The bowlers, particularly the pacers, love the surface at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala. The bowling side may find that the power plays are essential because of early ball movement in the game. It could be a smart move to chase down the target and bowl first.
For both teams, it will be a chilly day with a high of only 13 degrees—a far cry from Mumbai on Saturday, when it will reach 37 degrees. Additionally, 74% of the sky will be cloudy.
