India vs Afghanistan Weather Report
Dharamshala Weather: As much as the beauty of the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) Stadium is discussed, the weather in Dharamshala often remains the focal point of pre-match discussions. India will play hosts to Afghanistan for a three-match ODI series, kicking off at the picturesque stadium on the 13th June. However, there is some bad news for the fans, as there are predictions of rain during the time of the match. In the last few days, as the two teams have gathered to practice for the ODI series, there have been bouts of rain in the city. Here is a look at the weather forecast in Dharamshala before the India vs Afghanistan 1st ODI.
The current weather conditions in Dharamshala showcase a heavy cloud cover with constant drizzle. The images appearing from the stadium show the ground being covered. It is expected that the India vs Afghanistan 1st ODI would be delayed, and it looks likely that the toss would not take place at the stipulated 1:00 PM.
There is almost 50% chances of rain around the time of toss at 1:00 PM. The chances of rain would increase further as the day progresses. However, in some good news for the fans, the chances of rain are pretty low from 7:00 PM onwards.

The picturesque HPCA stadium was host to four matches during the recently concluded IPL 2026. With the games being played from the middle of May to late in the month, there were little to no rain interruptions.
Overall, the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala has proven to be very batting-friendly, mostly for the team batting first. The small size of the boundaries as well as the super-quick outfield, makes this a place in which it is quite easy to score runs. Yet, there is a lot of bounce here, so because of this, a lot of fast bowlers can be employed. Whichever team wins the toss should definitely choose to bat first and get themselves a total of 360380 plus.

The last few days in Dharamshala have been rainy. Ahead of the India vs Afghanistan match yesterday, there was constant precipitation at the HPCA Stadium, which cut short the training sessions of both teams. If the weather from the last few days is any indication, then today’s match would certainly be interrupted by rain.
