Official pitch report of Mullanpur for PBKS vs SRH in IPL 2024

 

Deep Das Gupta and Simon Katich in their official pitch report said, "This is the first evening game of the IPL at this venue. 63m and 70m side boundaries while the straight boundary is at 72m. This looks like a similar pitch to the day game that was played here, the pitch looks rock hard and it does look like a 200-run surface. 

 

There's an even covering of grass, the power-packed SRH batting line-up will enjoy playing here. Plenty of runs here tonight, and not much dew is expected either. Another high-scoring affair, reckon, in their pitch report."
