PITCH REPORT
The Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Stadium, commonly known as Punjab Cricket Association Stadium, is a cricket ground located in Chandigarh, Punjab, India. It serves as the home ground for the Punjab Kings franchise in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and has also hosted numerous international matches.
The pitch at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Stadium is known for being batting-friendly, particularly as a match progresses. In the initial overs, the pitch tends to be good for batting, offering decent pace and bounce for stroke-making. However, as the game progresses, the surface tends to slow down, and the spinners come into play more prominently. The spinners, both finger spinners and wrist spinners, often find assistance from the surface due to its dryness and rough patches.
Batsmen need to be watchful against spinners and be prepared to rotate the strike rather than going for aggressive shots. Building partnerships and pacing the innings become crucial on this pitch. Fast bowlers also have a role to play, especially in the initial overs when the ball may seam and swing a bit. However, their effectiveness usually decreases as the match progresses.
This Ground will host their first IPL match and will be the home ground for Punjab Kings
