Pitch Report For PBKS vs DC, IPL 2024

The Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Chandigarh will make its IPL debut in the 2024 season. While the stadium has previously hosted domestic matches, particularly T20 games in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT), it's known for producing low-scoring encounters. Pacers and spinners have found equal support on this pitch, making it challenging for batters to score freely.

In the SMAT, the stadium has witnessed 23 T20 matches. Teams batting first have won 15 matches, while those batting second have won 8. The average first innings total is 148, with the average second innings total dropping to 116.
