By Swapneel Deshpande October 9, 2023
As the ODI World Cup 2023 continues, England is set to face Bangladesh in a crucial match at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala on Tuesday, October 10. After a challenging start against New Zealand, defending champions England will be eager to bounce back strongly in this encounter.
Cricket enthusiasts can take a sigh of relief as the weather forecast for this match looks promising. While the warm-up games leading up to the tournament faced rain interruptions, the early matches of the marquee event have enjoyed fair weather. According to the forecast, there’s only a 50% chance of precipitation during the afternoon. Fortunately, this spell isn’t anticipated to disrupt play significantly.
The match is scheduled to commence at 10:30 AM (IST), with players experiencing pleasant temperatures ranging from 21-23°C. Humidity is expected to be around 57%. Therefore, the picturesque Dharamsala stadium will be all set to host two teams with contrasting starts to the tournament. Importantly, dew is unlikely to be a factor in this game as it is predicted to subside by 6 PM local time.
Pitch report
Considering the pitch conditions at this venue, it’s worth noting that low scores have been a recurring theme. In the first ODI World Cup 2023 match played here, Bangladesh bowled out Afghanistan for 156 and successfully chased down the target within 35 overs with six wickets in hand. The grassy pitch in the first innings made batting challenging, but conditions eased somewhat during the second innings.
Although the boundaries at this venue are relatively small, historical data suggests that runs have been hard to come by. The average first innings score at this ground is just 169. In five ODIs played here, teams chasing have emerged victorious in four instances. As a result, the toss-winning captain may opt to bowl first.
Cricket fans worldwide can look forward to an exciting clash between England and Bangladesh in Dharamsala, with the weather and pitch conditions adding an extra layer of intrigue to the encounter.
