HP vs PUD Pitch Report

Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur

The surface at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium tends to give both batters and bowlers something to work with.

The first-innings average over the last 55 T20 games at this ground is 155, and 135 in the second innings. A score of 145-165 looks like par on this surface. There is little to choose between batting first and chasing, 28 wins to 27 across the last 55 decided games.

The last 5 first-innings scores here, newest first: 132/4 (SAU-W, lost), 129/8 (AND-W, lost), 118/6 (RAJ-W, lost), 151/2 (ODI-W, won), 131/6 (HP-W, lost). The pitch has played slower lately: the last 5 first innings averaged 132, below the ground average of 155.

Spin has done the damage here: slow bowlers have taken 55% of the wickets (21 of 38). Seamers have gone at 8.06 an over and spinners at 6.75, so expect the slower bowlers to be used to control the scoring.

Toss call: there is not much in it, but most captains will still choose to chase.
