HPCA Stadium Pitch Report
The fast bowlers might find something to enjoy at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala. Bowlers get a lot of help as the ball moves, which might make the batsmen question themselves. Smaller boundaries help batters to make runs. The ball doesn't turn here as much as it does on other wickets. Spinners need to bowl tight lines.
