HPCA Stadium ODI Records Pitch Report:   

Dharamsala has been a batting paradise, but the overcast conditions expected at the venue could benefit seam bowlers more than usual. The high altitude of the ground also means that the ball travels faster, but the bounce and carry of the surface will still favour batters who generate good power.
