It is for the first time in this season that Punjab’s home matches are being played in Mullanpur. In the two matches so far at this venue, the team batting first have managed to post a 175+ total. Having said that, there is something on offer for the new ball bowlers with lateral movement and seam early on in the games played here. Once the ball gets a bit old and the shine comes off it, batters enjoy batting at this surface. One match has been won by the team batting first, the other by the team batting second and hence the captain winning the toss might look to bowl first, given it’s a new venue and they would want to have a target in front of them.
