The first Twenty20 match against India ended in a massive 62-run defeat for Sri Lanka. They must win today's match to keep the tournament alive. They have to do it at the Dharamshala Stadium.
It is located at an altitude of 1457 m above sea level in Dharamshala, Kangra District in the state of Himachal Pradesh. The Himalayas can be seen in the background. It is considered as one of the most beautiful stadiums in the world .It is a small, open field that hosts the Ranji Trophy team Himachal Pradesh and the Punjab team in the Indian Premier League.
Dave Whatmer was once the director of the National Cricket Academy in India. Environmental factors such as rain and snow constantly disrupt competitions on this field. Even in such a situation, Dave believed that Dharamshala was a suitable venue for international matches. He also has the honor of recommending the pitch for international matches.
Pakistan is considered to be the first foreign team to enter the field. (2005.) The first international to play here was a fifty-over ODI. It took place in 2013 as an Indo-British meeting. Today, the stadium has been able to capture the international appeal of all forms of competition.
The two ends of the pitch, which can accommodate up to 23,000 spectators, are named "River End" and "College End". Pinna makes a decisive intervention in the competitions here. The team that wins the toss is more likely to choose to field.
The turf is popular as one of the biggest advantages for fast bowlers. So despite having a fast outside field, critics are of the opinion that scoring here is not an easy task.
