HPCA Stadium Dharamsala Pitch Report

After a day’s break, IPL 2023 action returns to the scenic Dharamsala Stadium for one final time in this season. Talking about the wicket, there will be some live grass which will assist the pace bowlers early on in both innings. The ball will seam a bit and batters will have to be cautious against the new ball. Once the first three overs are completed, batters can score runs freely. The boundaries on either side of the wicket are small and will assist the batters throughout the game. Expect a high scoring PBKS vs RR match at Dharamsala and team winning the toss will look to bowl first.

Is Dharamsala Cricket stadium batting or bowling pitch?

After what we witnessed in the last game played here between Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings, it is clear that the wicket will be assisting the batters. The high-altitude HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala provides an advantage to pacers, as the ball tends to travel faster in this venue. While batters will still have an opportunity to make an impact during the middle overs, the presence of dew is expected to significantly influence the game. Given these factors, both team captains winning the toss may prefer to choose fielding first and it should be a batter’s day out at Dharamsala on Friday.
