The Punjab Kings will host Sunrisers Hyderabad at their new home ground in Mullanpur. The Kings have won two games and lost two in the tournament so far, so they haven’t had an easy ride. But, the team would feel a lot more confident from their most recent victory over the Gujarat Titans, as they managed to chase down the 200 runs despite being four down for just 70. The fact that the lower order is attending the party gives the Kings hope, especially since they will be taking on a team that is has been scoring runs for fun.
Punjab Kings will be playing four games at home in a row after playing just one home game thus far, which they won against the Delhi Capitals. Ahead of the PBKS vs SRH tie, let’s take a look at how the pitch in Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium is likely to behave.
PBKS vs SRH Pitch Report
The new stadium in Mullanpur gave the Punjab team a good start in the IPL against Delhi Capitals. Most of the time, the wicket was suitable for batting. Although there was a breeze in March and the seamer did receive some assistance, the game will take place at night, and the pitch should stabilize and remain good for the entire 40 overs of batting.

With the boundaries smaller than the Mohali stadium and a true surface, the captain who wins the toss is probably going to field, as the Kings easily overcame a 174-run total. Expect both Punjab and Sunrisers to favor bowling first because they have both recently completed successful chases. The Pat Cummins-led team would be content with either, though, as SRH have already defeated the Mumbai Indians in a thrilling run-fest while batting first.
