Dharamsala is ready to host another high voltage match, INDvsNZ.
Delhi: Dharamshala Stadium, nestled in the picturesque town of Dharamshala in Himachal Pradesh, India, is a breathtaking cricket venue. Surrounded by the majestic Himalayan mountains, it offers a unique and awe-inspiring setting for international and domestic cricket matches. The stadium has a seating capacity of around 23,000 spectators and is known for its serene ambiance and stunning vistas, making it a favourite among both players and fans.
The formidable Men in Blue, who have won all four of their games, are scheduled to face the other unbeaten team in World Cup 2023, New Zealand, at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium in Dharamsala on Sunday (October 22). The Indian team arrived at the airport in Dharamsala on Friday, October 20, 2023, in preparation for their crucial ICC Men’s World Cup 2023 match against the Black Caps- New Zealand.
The hosts will have to manage without star all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who sustained a left ankle injury trying to stop a straight hit by Litton Das in his follow-through during the match against Bangladesh at the Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) Stadium in Pune. Pandya underwent scans and has been advised to rest. He will be under the constant care of the BCCI Medical Team and is expected to rejoin the squad directly in Lucknow, where India will face the defending champions England.
New Zealand spinner Mitchell Santner feels assessing the conditions in Dharamsala and countering an in-form Rohit Sharma will be vital as they eye the “tough” task of beating India at home during their World cup clash on Sunday.
New Zealand have done well to adapt to the different conditions in the World Cup. The Black Caps, who have won all four of their games in the tournament so far, have played in Ahmedabad, Hyderabad and Chennai.
They will now fly to Dharamsala for the much-anticipated game against India, who are on a four-match winning streak.
