PBKS vs DC Live: PITCH REPORT
The Dharamsala surface looks ideal for batting with short square boundaries measuring 63m and 65m, while the straight boundary stands at 72m. There is an even covering of grass on the pitch, but overall it appears hard and should allow the ball to come nicely onto the bat. Pacers could get slight assistance with the new ball early on, though another high-scoring encounter is expected with the average first innings score being 209 across the last five games here.
