pitch report
One of the most stunning stadiums in the world can be found in Himachal Pradesh’s valleys at HPCA Stadium. Nine T20Is have been played here, but three of them have been postponed because of the rain. The defending team has won four of the six games, while the chasing team has won a few of them.
The pitch generally favors the pacers because of the stadium’s geographical location. On this surface, Bangladesh spinner Shakib al Hasan and Dutch pacer Paul van Meekeran have each taken six wickets. However, the pacers have enjoyed bowling at the HPCA stadium in general.
Weather report
The seamen will benefit even more from the cool weather. As a result, it is unlikely that the fans will witness a high-scoring match like the first T20 International in Lucknow. In Dharamshala, a par score should be above 160.
