IND vs WI Mullanpur Ground Pitch Report
IND vs WI Match Pitch Report: The pitch here is typically a well-rolled, hard red-soil surface that offers consistent pace and bounce.
Once batsmen settle in and gauge the bounce, the pitch becomes excellent for batting, rewarding good shots with plenty of runs. Given the recent trend of high scores in white-ball cricket at this venue, a total exceeding 300 runs is expected.
Fast bowlers may find some movement (swing and seam) with the new ball during the opening overs or under floodlights. As the match progresses, spinners play a crucial role, as the pitch offers them some grip and slow turn.
In Mullanpur, the weather cools down in the evening, and dew often sets in as the match advances. Since gripping and bowling with a wet ball becomes difficult during the second innings, captains usually opt to bowl first upon winning the toss.
