HPCA Stadium Pitch Report
After a day off, the picturesque Dharamsala Stadium will host IPL 2023 action for the last game this season. The surface will be helping the batters, as was evident in the most recent game played here between Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings. The pitch will have some grass, which will also help the pace bowlers early in both innings.
The ball will have a slight seam, thus batters have to be cautious while facing the new ball. Batters are able to score runs after the first couple of overs are done. The small boundaries on each side of the wicket will help the batters all game long. Thus a high-scoring encounter is expected. The team that wins the toss will want to bowl first.
