HPCA Cricket Stadium IPL 2024 match preview, schedule, date, venue, & weather forecast
After staging five home matches for Punjab Kings in March and April, the HPCA Cricket Stadium in Himachal Pradesh is set to host two matches in May. Although fast bowlers find the pitches at this venue favorable, fans have also witnessed some high-scoring first innings totals in limited-overs formats. Even during last year’s ODI World Cup, the wickets supported good batting. Therefore, we can expect similar wickets for the two IPL 2024 matches.
The weather forecast for the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala predicts cloudy days in May with a high chance of thunderstorms, particularly on the match days. The maximum temperature is anticipated to reach 23°C with a minimum of 17°C on May 5th, and a maximum of 35°C on May 9th.
There is a 60 percent chance of showers in the afternoon on May 5th, likely to clear by the evening, though interruptions or delays may occur as it is an afternoon game. On May 9th, there is a 58 percent chance of thundershowers in the afternoon, expected to clear before the match start time. However, it may remain cloudy for the evening and night.
Match 1: PBKS vs CSK (5th May, 3:30 PM IST)
Match 2: PBKS vs RCB (5th May, 7:30 PM IST)
