The Punjab Kings team will be put to the test in the two IPL matches to be held at the HPCA Stadium, Dharamshala. Only victory in these two matches will keep alive the hopes of reaching the playoffs for the Punjab team. The Punjab team will play their first match against Delhi Capitals on 17 May. Although the Delhi team's playoff journey is almost over, if the Delhi team defeats Punjab, then Punjab's hopes of reaching the playoffs will also be ruined.
At the same time, Punjab will have to win the match against Delhi by a good margin, so that the run rate can be better. On the other hand, the match with Rajasthan Royals on May 19 will be a do-or-die situation for Punjab. The special thing is that Himachal's Rishi Dhawan in Punjab and Akash Vashisht in Rajasthan can also get a chance to play.
The outfield of Dharamshala Cricket Stadium will look like a chessboard
In the IPL matches to be held at the International Cricket Stadium Dharamshala, the outfield of the stadium will be seen in the design of the chess board. For this, grass cutting is being done in the outfield of the stadium in the design of chess boxes. This time IPL matches will be held on the new outfield.
In late February last year, after the T20 matches between India and Sri Lanka, the construction of the new outfield of the stadium was started and a new advanced sub-air system for water drainage was also installed in it. Now the rain matches during the matches will not be interrupted for a long time.
The ground will be ready for play in about 20 minutes after rain. HPCA Secretary Avneesh Parmar said that this time IPL matches will be played on the new outfield. The outfield grass is being cut in a chess pattern. This design will also be the center of attraction during the match.
