PBKS vs LSG Pitch Report

Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamshala Pitch Report Pitch Condition Batting Conditions Pace Bowling Spin Bowling

HPCA Stadium, Dharamsala, does offer something for the fast bowlers. The ball moves here, and it can create doubts among the batsmen. However, stroke players have done well due to the smaller size of the ground. Spinners must bowl tight lines, as the ball doesn't turn here as much on other tracks in the country.

Toss: To Bat

The side batting first has an advantage on this track. The team that batted first won five times in the last six games. The ball moves late in the evening, making run chases difficult. The side winning the toss wouldn't hesitate to bat first on this surface.
