The Mullanpur stadium pitch report below, for the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, is built from just 3 internationals, all played between Sep 2025 and Dec 2025, so every trend here is an early reading. The ground, often called the new PCA stadium, sits in Mullanpur, New Chandigarh, India.
Two of the games were women’s ODIs between India and Australia in Sep 2025. The third was a men’s T20I on 11 Dec 2025, which South Africa won by 51 runs against India. Totals have been big from the start: the two women’s ODIs opened at 286 on average, and the one T20I opened with 213.
New Chandigarh Stadium Pitch: Big Totals So Far
Both women’s ODIs produced first innings close to 300. On 14 Sep 2025 Australia chased 282 and won by 8 wickets; three days later India posted 292 and won by 102 runs, which is why 292 shows as the lowest total defended. Second innings averaged 236 against 286 for the first, a gap that comes almost entirely from that second game.
The men’s T20I on 11 Dec 2025 followed the batting-first pattern: South Africa set 213 and India replied with 162. One game is not a trend, but the IPL numbers below point the same way, with big totals the norm.
