IND vs SA 3rd T20I Pitch Report: The pitch at Dharamshala offers good bounce, and the weather conditions provide significant assistance to both fast bowlers and batsmen. Batsmen can score freely here, while fast bowlers prove quite lethal in the initial overs. A good contest between fast bowlers and batsmen is often witnessed. Spinners, however, don't get much assistance on this pitch.

No men's international match has been played at this ground in Dharamshala for over two years. The last international match was during the 2023 World Cup, when New Zealand attempted to chase Australia's target of 388 runs.

The last T20I was played here in February 2022. This ground is known for high-scoring matches. In the IPL, teams have consistently crossed the 180-run mark. However, fast bowlers get considerable help initially. If the batsmen can overcome the initial challenge, the pitch becomes a paradise for them. In December, dew could play a significant role at this ground in Dharamshala. Both teams will be looking to bowl first after winning the toss.
