Ahead of the Punjab Kings (PBKS) vs Kolkata Night Riders (KKR) match in IPL 2025, here is Mullanpur pitch report.
Punjab Kings (PBKS) will look to regroup after being dismantled by Lucknow Super Gaints (LSG), as they prepare to take on another tough opponent Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in IPL 2025 at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday.
Returning to their home ground in Mullanpur, where the pitch has favored batters, Punjab must carefully consider the type of surface they want to prepare for the game.
In the two matches played at Mullanpur so far, teams batting first have posted 200-plus totals. However, opting for a batting-friendly pitch might backfire for PBKS, as their bowling attack has shown vulnerability even when defending scores in the 220 range—particularly with KKR boasting power-hitters like Sunil Narine, Rinku Singh, and Venkatesh Iyer.
