Venue and location

This listing uses Bilaspur as the verified host city and Luhnu Cricket Ground as the full named venue. FixtureCalendar was used for discovery only: its 18 October row places Himachal Pradesh VS Mumbai Day 1 at Luhnu Cricket Ground, Bilaspur, and shows 09:30 local time: https://www.fixturecalendar.com/event/424616-himachal-pradesh-v-mumbai. The primary schedule—not the discovery page—controls the final four-day date range and event record.

Why the host changed

The match was moved from HPCA Stadium, Dharamsala, to Bilaspur. The Tribune reports that prolonged rainfall during August and September caused excessive moisture and damaged grass in sections of Dharamsala’s outfield; HPCA shifted the Mumbai match to give restoration work more time. The report quotes HPCA honorary secretary Manuj Sharma and confirms Bilaspur as the venue: https://www.tribuneindia.com/news/himachal/hp-mumbai-ranji-match-shifted-from-dharamsala-to-bilaspur/.

Watch, don’t assume participation

This is a watch listing for a scheduled professional/domestic cricket match, not a public participation opportunity. The reviewed sources confirm the fixture, schedule and venue but do not confirm ticket sales, remaining inventory, prices, parking, admission rules or general spectator access. A “Buy Tickets” label on a discovery page is not proof that tickets remain available. Check the official BCCI match destination and relevant HPCA notices before relying on attendance plans.
