The calming hills of Dhauladhar that guard the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala will witness a heated clash between Trans-Tasman rivals Australia and New Zealand in the next ICC World Cup 2023 fixture on Saturday (October 28).
The two longstanding rivals collide for what promises to be a riveting encounter in the world's most scenic ground, which has enticed and warmed cricket lovers with its beauty and aesthetics throughout this World Cup.
Apart from its lovely presence, the ground in Dharamsala has also offered an interesting contrast about its playing surface with each game of the tournament.
After offering early swing and late movement for quicks in the initial couple of matches, the track played two-paced and gave spinners turn for the last game between India and New Zealand.

It remains to be seen what kind of pitch awaits the Kiwis and the Aussies in a day game where the winning side will take a giant stride forward towards the knock-out stage.
While the BlackCaps stand third in the points table with four wins and a solitary defeat, the Australians are placed fourth after clinching three consecutive victories after losing the first two matches.
| Highest Team Total | England 364/9 vs Bangladesh, 2023 |
| Lowest Team Total | India 112/10 vs Sri Lanka, 2023 |
| Total matches | 9 |
| Team won batting 1st | 3 |
| Team won batting 2nd | 5 |
| Average runs per over | 5.16 |
| Average runs per wicket | 28.23 |
| Average total batting 1st | 237/8 |
Despite an unconvincing campaign against strong oppositions, the Aussies begin the Kiwi bout as favourites because of their tendency to raise the playing standards and overall output against their neighbours.
To keep the Aussies at bay, the BlackCaps will require a more rounded batting performance than the one they showcased versus India, losing the plot from a strong position before the middle-order collapsed to give the tournament hosts an insufficient target.
