Another underwhelming contest in Dharamsala?
Bangladesh knocked out Afghanistan for 156 in the opening match of the ODI World Cup 2023 at this location before chasing the total down in 35 overs with six wickets remaining.

Despite the relatively small borders at this location, historically, runs haven’t been particularly common. The first inning score is only 169 on average. Four of the five ODIs played at this location were won by teams in the chase. The captain who is awarded the toss may decide without thinking to bowl first.
