Mullanpur Pitch Report
The surface at Mullanpur has shown variable behavior this season. Qualifier 1 saw a bouncy track that assisted seamers, resulting in a low-scoring affair. A fresh pitch is expected for the Eliminator — dry with decent grass coverage — likely to be a contest between bat and ball. Teams might aim for 200, though the average first-innings score is 174.
| Aspect | Details |
|---|---|
| Surface Type | Drier base with grass cover; bounce and movement early |
| Par First Innings | 174 |
| Spin Assistance | Moderate – better control than pacers in middle overs |
| Boundaries | Square: 70m & 63m, Straight: 72m |
| Ideal Strategy | Bat first, use variations with the ball late |
