Pitch Report according to previous Records:

The pitch at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur (New Chandigarh) is a balanced, sporting surface that favors fast bowlers with early swing and bounce, but transitions into a highly batting-friendly track as the match progresses.

Official Live Pitch Report:

It still looks brand new, to be honest. Well done to the curator of the ground. The ground's in terrific nick. The pitch looks fantastic. It's been so hot as well, but it's held together beautifully. Again, you can see some areas here where the foot marks from the bowlers are creating a little bit rough. But look, it's spun from the straight ball yesterday. So I'm assuming today you'll see a little bit more spin. Maybe it stay a little bit lower as the game goes on. So you see the class bowlers really attack the stumps and bowl quite straight. But I think it's going to be about how do you play spin and how do you bowl spin. A lot more spin, but then also the pace, it's gonna get slower and slower. So as a batter, you play yourself, especially against spin of Manav Sudar and also Kuldeep Yadav. It'll be interesting to see what pace they bowl, reckon Deep Dasgupta and Michael Clarke, in their pitch report.
