Punjab faced Chennai in their previous game, where Chennai was batting first and struggled initially. Sam Curran finally performed with the bat with a knock of 88 and took the team to a total of 190. Punjab, with their top-order, smashed well, and the first two partnerships were excellent. They faced trouble in the middle but easily crossed the line and won by four wickets.

Lucknow played Mumbai in their previous encounter, where Mumbai was asked to bat first. Half-centuries from Ryan Rickleton and Suryakumar Yadav paved the way for the team to reach a total of 215 runs. Nicholas Pooran gave a little scare with his aggressive approach, but was soon dismissed, and Lucknow was never in the game thereafter. Mumbai won the game easily by 54 runs.

The speed, bounce, and lateral movement of the HPCA Stadium pitch in Dharamsala are well-known. Dharamsala's track is generally suitable for batting since it bounces well and gives seamers considerable movement off the deck. Moreover, its outfield is well-maintained and enables speedy fielding for the batsmen and bowlers.

In general, the bowlers—especially the pacers—benefit from the pitch. The bowling side needs the movement and bounce that the power play provides, and benefits the quicks of the team.
