India are all set to face New Zealand in their next match of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 on Sunday. The match will be played at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala.
It will be a contest between the top two sides in the tournament as New Zealand and India are sitting at the top two positions in the points table. New Zealand have won all of their four matches so far, while India have also won all of their four fixtures as well.
Both teams will look to almost seal their qualification for the semifinals with another win as both India and New Zealand will look to extend their respective unbeaten run.
In this post, we will take a look at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium Pitch, Venue Stats, Record, and Average Score ahead of the World Cup clash between India vs New Zealand.
It is a fantastic wicket to bat on as the surface will offer an even pace and bounce to the batters. Furthermore, the boundaries are on the shorter side, hence, batters will have an added advantage. Meanwhile, the pacers with the new ball are expected to get some swing during both innings. Still, one could expect a high-scoring encounter between the two quality opponents.
