Pitch Report - PBKS vs RCB
The PCA Stadium in Mohali is pretty decent for batting with bowlers also likely to have something in the pitch early on. The dimensions of the ground are decent as well even as the average score is around 175 runs in the IPL matches.
Will Toss Matter?
With this being an afternoon match, batting second could be beneficial as the ball might come onto the bat slowly with conditions expected to get better for batting later. In nine T20 matches played at the venue, five have been won by sides batting first.
