Pitch Report
The Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur offers a balanced pitch. In IPL 2024, it hosted 5 matches with an average first-innings score of around 165. The surface provides early assistance to pacers with bounce, while spinners come into play in the middle overs. Batsmen can score freely once set, but chasing has been slightly more successful (3 out of 5 wins in 2024). Toss winners might prefer to bowl first due to potential dew in the evening.
