New PCA Stadium, Mullanpur, Pitch Report (Pitch Report)
The match between Punjab and Bengaluru will be played in Mullanpur, and the pitch is one of the fastest pitches in India. The pitch provides additional bounce to the fast bowlers, causing batsmen to face a lot of problems in the initial overs. But later batsmen dominate the bowlers. Due to the boom, the ball comes easily on the bat and the batsmen offer long shots. At the same time, dew also emerges as an important factor on this ground, which helps the bowlers. In such a situation, the team winning the toss often decides to bowl first.
