Pitch Report: Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur
The pitch at Mullanpur offers a balanced contest between bat and ball. It provides good bounce and carry, allowing batters to play their shots freely. However, pacers can extract movement and bounce, especially in the initial overs, while spinners may find assistance as the match progresses.
In a recent match at this venue, Punjab Kings were bowled out for just 101 runs, suggesting that early wickets are possible if bowlers effectively exploit the conditions.
Weather Forecast: Mullanpur, May 30
The weather in Mullanpur is expected to be clear and dry, with temperatures ranging between 25°C and 35°C. Humidity levels are expected to be moderate, ranging from 43% to 54%, and winds are anticipated at 11-13 km/h. There is no forecast for rain, ensuring a full match without interruptions.
