New PCA Stadium, Mullanpur Pitch Report

Dew hasn't played a major role at this newly-built stadium. Pacers are expected to continue having more impact than the spinners.

"There is a tinge of green grass, 100% black soil (pitch number 4), so water retention is higher. Some seam movement for the seamers who should dominate here. You'll need to bowl in that good length and the line should be around off or just outside off. There is a little bit of dew factor, so you would want to bowl first, but you can win by batting first as well. 180 should be a par score on this wicket," Daren Ganga said ahead of the PBKS vs RR match (the last match at the venue).

In the match, Punjab Kings scored 147/8 after being asked to bat first. The pacers picked four wickets, while spinners three. Rajasthan chased down the target with three wickets and a ball to spare. Pacers picked six of the seven Rajasthan wickets.
