Pitch & conditions
The patterns we see repeat across the matches on record — what works at PCA Mohali, and what captains should plan for.
Across 101 matches, teams batting second have won 58% of the time at PCA Mohali. Captains appear to have picked up on this tendency, with 60% of toss winners opting to field. The gap between first (211) and second-innings (190) averages suggests conditions ease as the surface settles rather than deteriorates dramatically.
The average powerplay at Mohali produces 41 runs at a cost of just 1.14 wickets, pointing to a surface where openers can build without it becoming a six-hitting festival. Middle overs contribute the bulk of scoring, averaging 117 runs, which rewards teams with strong through-the-order batting.
The top five bowling figures at Mohali are all held by spinners. Ravindra Jadeja, Anil Kumble, and Ravichandran Ashwin account for four of those five returns, with the surface historically offering turn and variable bounce that makes slow bowlers difficult to dominate over long spells.
India Cricket have won 17 of their 25 matches at Mohali across all formats, a win rate of 74%. That home advantage is most visible in Tests, where the pitch conditions have consistently suited India's spin-heavy bowling attacks. Visiting sides, including Pakistan (1 win from 6), have generally struggled.
Punjab Kings have played all 61 IPL matches at Mohali here as their home side, winning 31 and losing 30. Their near-even split underlines that home advantage in T20 cricket at this venue is less pronounced than it is for India in the longer formats.
