Pitch and Conditions
Dharamshala, which is normally known as a non-batting-friendly surface, favoured the batters in the last game. The ball will see movement in the early overs and continue that way for the rest of the innings. The fast bowlers might find something to enjoy at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala. The previous PBKS vs LSG game was a high-scoring contest, and it is expected to be a similar case this time around.
