PBKS vs DC Pitch Report
The Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium, Dharamsala has been known to be a bowling-friendly surface. HPCA ground has a hard pitch which offers good bounce and pace. This helps batters who are strong with back-foot shots. With shorter boundaries, this ground could be properly utilized by the batters in their favor if they know how to deal with pacers here. Since the stadium is 1,457 meters above sea level, the air is thinner, which means the ball can travel farther when hit in the air. So, we might see more big, lofted shots here. Spinners may not get much help from the pitch.
The pitch at this ground also supports Pacers at the start of the innings, and they can often extract a bit of swing and seam early in the innings. However, as the match progresses, the pitch will start favoring spinners as well. Teams that win the toss generally prefer to field first and chase whatever score the opposition puts up.
Weather Condition
The weather at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium, Dharamsala, for the 58th match of the IPL 2025 between PBKS and DC appears to be good for cricket, and there are a bit chances of rain at the Dharamsala Gardens ground on Thursday. 20% chances of rain are predicted, which clearly indicates that the match hours could be under threat of washout.
A temperature of around 19°C along with 75% humidity will be the weather forecast for the match day. With such weather, there is no probability that matches could be washed or even reduced to a shorter duration; all would be solely dependent on the weather.

DC's current team looks balanced, with all of their players being T20 specialists.
