Mullanpur Stadium, New Chandigarh: Pitch report
The pitch offers something for both batters and bowlers. Teams have managed to breach the 200 mark in both matches this season with the surface having consistent carry and bounce throughout the match.
We saw live grass near the crease but the rest of the track was bare, with dry patches. The pitch looked two-paced, sticky, and gripped off the surface when bowlers used their slow-ball variations.

Batters did face challenges but once they settled and got their eye in, run-scoring became easier. It has appeared to be a tricky surface so far and not a belter despite the big scores.

What happened in the last match at the Mullanpur Stadium, New Chandigarh in the IPL?
PBKS beat CSK by 18 runs in the last match at Mullanpur after batting first and posting just the second 200+ total at the venue.
Youngster Priyansh Arya was the only batter in the top six to find any success - he smashed 103 runs off 42 balls even as wickets kept tumbling at the other end. Shashank Singh and Marco Jansen had 65 runs for the seventh wicket as they dominated CSK ace Mathessha Pathirana.
Chasing 200 was not an easy task, particularly for CSK, who have never chased a 180+ target since IPL 2019. Devon Conway scored 69 runs off 49 balls but he was unable to clear the boundaries towards the end, resulting in him being retired out for the match.
MS Dhoni hit three sixes in his inning of 27 runs off 12 balls but the team ended in a losing cause.
