PBKS vs CSK pitch report

Dharamshala pitches favour fast bowlers and often feature high scores in the first innings. Teams batting second generally struggle to reach these targets.

Ahead of the IPL matches, Dharamshala installed a new ‘hybrid pitch’, the first of its kind in India. This advanced pitch is designed to provide consistent bounce and maintain its condition throughout the game.
