India’s biggest weakness in the last two T20s has been the top order. Shubhman Gill was out in the first over both times, Abhishek Sharma also could not play a big innings. Captain Suryakumar Yadav is also struggling, runs are not coming from his bat. Arshdeep Singh’s bowling is also a question, he bowled 9 wides in Chandigarh.

Dharamshala Stadium Pitch Report

Bounce will be seen on the pitch of Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala. Here fast bowlers will get help in the beginning, hence batsmen will have to avoid taking big risks in the beginning. Although this game itself is such that you have to hit big shots from the first over, but still you have to stay here and try to play 2 or 3 overs. As the game progresses, the batsmen will get help. The spinners are not likely to get much help here, so once again Jasprit Bumrah and Arshdeep Singh can play together.

So far 10 T20 International matches have been held on this ground of Dharamshala, in which the team batting first and the team chasing the target have won 4 matches each, 2 matches have been inconclusive. There is a possibility of dew in Dharamshala, so winning the toss is most important.
