Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium Pitch Report and Records
Covers 36 international matches at this ground from Oct 2003 to Sep 2023.
Our Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium pitch report is drawn from 36 internationals in Mohali, India, from Oct 2003 to Sep 2023: 18 ODIs, 9 Tests and 9 T20Is (3 of those T20Is were women’s games). India took part in 25 men’s matches here and won 17.
Mohali’s latest international in the data, an ODI on 22 Sep 2023, ended in a 5-wicket India win over Australia.
Mohali Pitch Report: Batting First or Chasing?
One-day scoring here is high and getting higher. ODI first innings average 279, but the latest 10 have averaged 306, while the results split could not be more even: 9 wins setting a target, 9 chasing. Australia’s 359/6 overhauled India’s 358/9 in Mar 2019, the biggest chase.
Men’s T20Is follow the same line, with innings averages of 183 and 177 and chasers ahead 4 to 2. All 3 women’s T20Is went to the side batting first.
Tests fall away sharply: 416 first up, 335 in reply, 212 in the third innings and just 138 in the fourth. The coin has mattered little, 16 wins for the toss winner in 34 results.
