Indian Premier League 2025, 58th Match, PBKS vs DC
Venue: Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamshala
Date & Time: Thursday, May 8, 7:30 PM
Pitch Report: In the previous game, the batters were favored by Dharamshala, which is typically regarded as a non-batting-friendly surface. Throughout the early overs, the ball will be moving, and it will stay that way for the remainder of the innings. The HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala may offer something of interest to fast bowlers. It is anticipated that this time around will be just as high-scoring as the last PBKS vs. LSG match.
