Pitch Report:

The HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala has offered pace and bounce under lights in recent IPL matches. Fast bowlers have enjoyed movement early on, especially with the new ball, while spinners found grip later as temperatures drop. Batting gets easier after the initial overs, making chasing a preferred option. The outfield remains quick, rewarding aggressive stroke play. However, dew has played a role in evening games, reducing turn and aiding chasing teams. Captains winning the toss often choose to bowl first.
