PBKS vs LSG: Dharamshala Pitch Report
The picturesque HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala features a hard pitch with extra bounce and high-altitude conditions that assist fast bowlers, especially early in the innings. While the surface offers swing with the new ball, it provides minimal help to spinners. This is the first match of this IPL season at the venue; last season, the average first innings score was around 180–184. Teams consistently chose to bowl first after winning the toss, taking advantage of early movement and chasing-friendly conditions under lights.
