IS Bindra Stadium Pitch Report

The pitch at Mohali used to aid the bowlers in recent years but in the last few years or so, it has become a belter for batting. Teams batting second have went on to chase big totals. Bowlers will need to bring their variations in a smarter way. Average first innings score is 183 and teams winning the toss usually opt to bowl first and try to restrict the opposition.

With what we’ve seen so far in Mohali, the pitch looks a belter at the start but as the game progresses it stops on the batter and becomes difficult to hit through the line. Bangalore were cruising to put up a total over 200 but they had to settle for 174. Punjab in replay got bowled out for 150 and lost the game. 8 wickets were picked by pacers while spinners scalped 4 wickets.
