HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala pitch report:
The surface at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala is one that is preferred by the batters. A surface offering pace and bounce, the ball comes onto the bat nicely. However, the pacers can get some help in the early stages of the game. Opting to bat first after winning the toss could be a wise decision.ย
