Dharamsala Cricket Stadium Average Score in T20 History

After an elongated 10-year long wait, Indian Premier League has returned to the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium. The last IPL match was played at this stadium in 2013. Punjab Kings will be playing a couple of their home matches in the ongoing 16th season of the IPL. This surface has been one of the most competitive ones in the country.

This is one of the most scenic grounds in the world with snow-capped Himalayas in the background. The third Test between India and Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2023 was set to be played here, but it got shifted to Indore due to the poor condition of the ground due to renovation work.

This ground is on a high altitude and the pacers will have a good time out there in the middle. With bowlers like Arshdeep Singh, Kagiso Rabada, Nathan Ellis, etc., Punjab may enjoy Dharamsala’s conditions in their two must-win matches.
