PBKS vs DC pitch report

Mohali used to be known for being India’s greenest pitch favouring pacers. However, the situation has changed over the past few years. It now produces barren pitches favouring batters to help produce high-scoring matches.

Last year itself, there were two 200+ scores. Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) scored 257 against PBKS while Punjab scored 214 in another match against Mumbai Indians (MI).

PBKS vs DC weather

Mohali will be hot today, with the highest temperature of the day (33 degrees) to be experienced during the match. It will be mostly cloudy, but there is no chance of rain.
