The Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) Stadium or Inderjit Singh (IS) Bindra Stadium that was established in 1993, is situated in Mohali, Punjab and is popularly referred to as the Mohali Stadium.

PCA Stadium, which has hosted 14 Tests, 26 One Day Internationals and 6 T20Is, has also hosted 60 Indian Premier League matches so far. The venue is currently home to the Indian cricket team, the Punjab state team and the IPL franchise Punjab Kings.

PCA Stadium in Mohali to host five Punjab Kings home matches in IPL 2023

BCCI has announced Mohali's PCA Stadium as one of the venues that will host the matches of IPL 2023. The venue in Mohali along with HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala is scheduled to host the home matches of Punjab Kings in the 2023 season.

While PCA Stadium in Mohali hosted five home matches of Punjab Kings, starting with the opener on April 1 against Kolkata Knight Riders, the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA) stadium will play hosts to two matches in May.

Now, we take a look at the Mohali Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) Stadium information, T20 and IPL records at the venue ahead of IPL 2023:

Mohali PCA Stadium Pitch Report

The pitches at the venue initially aided quick bowlers, but has become batter-friendly over the years, producing some big scores in the limited overs formats. The early assistance for quick bowlers, however, still remains.

The T20 and IPL matches have seen the team chasing win majority of the matches despite huge targets being set by the team batting first. So, that pattern may continue even in IPL 2023.

Mohali Weather Forecast

While the start of April will be very hot during the day with max temperature rising to a max of 40o C, but is expected to get cooler later in the month with the max temperature reducing as low as 33o C. The minimum temperature will fluctuate through the month.

The month of April is also expected to witness cloudy days with some summer showers as well. In May, there will be only one match at the venue and that day's forecast shows chances of thunderstorms with max temperature of 37o C and mix temperature of 23o C.
