HPCA Stadium Dharamsala Pitch Report For AFG Vs BAN World Cup Match

On Saturday, Afghanistan and Bangladesh will kickstart their 2023 World Cup campaign, taking on each other in match 3 of the tournament at HPCA stadium in Dharamsala. Both teams recently had mediocre outings in the Asia Cup. While Afghanistan suffered a group-stage exit, Bangladesh crashed out of the Super Four following crushing defeats against Sri Lanka and Pakistan. However, considering their recently developed rivalry, we anticipate a high-octane face-off between the two sides. 

So, as the HPCA stadium in Dharamsala gears up to host the fascinating contest, let's see how its pitch will play throughout the game. 


HPCA Stadium Dharamsala Pitch Report

It's the beginning of the Indian home season, so in all likelihood, expect a fresh pitch at the recently renovated HPCA stadium in Dharamsala. It's a day game scheduled at 10:30 A.M IST. So, substantial seam movement will be available for the seamers early on with the new ball, owing to moisture in the pitch. 

However, with the sun coming out, the track will get better for batting as the game progresses. We don't think there will be significant turn for the spinners. So, expect the pacers from both sides to capitalise on the movement and extra bounce. As the pitch will gradually become better for batting, the toss-winner should opt to field first.
