Pitch report
The surface at the HPCA stadium in Dharamshala is one that is preferred by the bowlers, and with pacers getting help on the surface, a low-scoring encounter could be quite a possibility on such a pitch. Opting to bowl first and limiting the side to a subpar total could be a wise decision.
