The battle to qualify for the playoffs has intensified, as Punjab Kings will cross swords against Rajasthan Royals in the 66th group-stage fixture of the ongoing Indian Premier League season. Both teams have won six and lost seven of their thirteen matches. Therefore, it's a must-win game for both of them to stay alive in the competition. As the HPCA stadium in Dharamsala gears up to host this match, let's see what the pitch report says. 


HPCA Stadium Dharamsala Pitch Report

The HPCA stadium in Dharamsala has traditionally been a high-scoring venue. As the ground is much above the sea level, we might see the pacers getting some swing with the new-ball. The surface used in the previous match between PBKS and DC was hard and witnessed 411 runs being scored across both innings. 

However, a tinge of green on the wicket helped the fast bowlers get some seam movement off the deck early in the innings. The bounce was also slightly higher than usual. 

Meanwhile, spinners won't get much grip and turn off the surface here. So, all in all, it will be a great track to bat on, having occasional movement and bounce for the fast bowlers. 

The toss-winning side might opt to bowl first because the ground doesn't slow down with time.
