India vs New Zealand Cricket World Cup 2023: Pitch Report
The Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamshala has traditionally favored pacers, but it can also transform into a batter's paradise most likely in the second innings. Spinners had success for Bangladesh in their recent ODI World Cup match against Afghanistan on this pitch, making it a somewhat variable surface. Given that injured Hardik Pandya is unavailable, India may consider including Mohammed Shami in the playing XI, as the pitch conditions appear favorable for fast bowlers.
