IPL 2025, PBKS vs CSK PCA New International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report And Chandigarh Weather Forecast Today Match: Punjab Kings and Chennai Super Kings will lock horns in a skirmish at the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium in Mullanpur, Chandigarh on Tuesday.
The pitch will be in the spotlight for Shreyas Iyer’s men after they were stunned in their new backyard by Rajasthan Royals who put on a record 205-run total at the venue in the previous match at the ground. Not known for such high scores, the long square boundaries and the relatively tacky pitch meant that the Kings did not have necessary firepower to gun down the target.

If records are to go by, one cannot expect exceptionally high scores on this ground. With scores in the 180-190 belt proving competitive, spinners have also commanded attention at the venue, posing a healthy economy around just 7. In all 29 T20s played on this ground, only three innings have recorded a 200-plus total. Punjab and Chennai will hope to take a leaf out of Rajasthan’s playbook and attempt to target a 180-run total first before breaching the 200 mark on the back of brisk knocks through the batting order.
