Dharamshala pitch mood
Fast bowlers are going to win silver after the covers are removed on this ground of Dharamshala, situated at a great height above sea level. After cold winds and rain, fast bowlers will get tremendous swing and extra bounce in the initial overs on the pitch. Arshdeep Singh and Prasidh Krishna can wreak havoc here. So far 9 ODI matches have been played on this ground, out of which 5 times the match has been won by the same team which batted later (chase the target). In view of the rainy season, whichever captain wins the toss, he will want to choose to bowl first.
