PBKS vs MI: Narendra Modi Stadium Pitch Report
The surface at the Narendra Modi Stadium has been pretty much flat the entire season, offering little assistance to both spinners and pacers. It has an even bounce, and the ball comes nicely onto the bat. With shorter square boundaries, it's easy to clear the fence with minimum effort.
In the second innings, the surface tends to become a bit sticky, especially during the powerplay, which bowlers should look to exploit. However, batting while chasing isn't particularly difficult. The average first-innings total at this stadium is 195 runs, and the team that wins the toss would prefer to bowl first, as it's a night game and dew might be a factor
