Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium Pitch Report

It is expected to be a sporting surface as both bowlers and batters could dominate here with the right application. While the batters could trust the pace and bounce, and a quick outfield with small boundaries will help their cause. At the same time, the pacers will get some swing in the air with the new ball and they are likely to get some seam movement off the surface as well.

Last result at the venue

• India (112/10 in 38.2 overs) lost to Sri Lanka (114/3 in 20.4 overs) by 7 wickets – 10 December 2017
