HPCA Stadium Pitch Report: Batting or Bowling
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.

Punjab Kings' skipper Shreyas Iyer could be the best batter in the upcoming game against Delhi Capitals. With 405 runs in his last 11 matches, Iyer is one of the best performers for his side in the tournament. Coming off a decent knock against LSG, the right-handed batter will be hopeful to attack the Delhi bowlers similarly.

Arshdeep Singh
Punjab Kings’ Arshdeep Singh could be the best bowler in the upcoming game. With 16 wickets in his 11 matches, Arshdeep is the fourth-highest wicket-taker in the competition, and his performance could be crucial against DC.
