    IPL 2023, PBKS vs GT: Pitch report (PCA Stadium)

    What's the story

    Punjab Kings will be up against Gujarat Titans in Match 18 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 on Thursday (April 13) in Mohali.

    Both teams are eyeing a comeback, having lost their respective previous fixtures.

    However, both sides claimed victories in their first two games with comprehensive performances.

    Here we look at the pitch report of Mohali's PCA Stadium.

    Conditions 

    How the pitch will behave?

    The track here generally favors the batting side with the outfield being on the quicker side.

    Fast bowlers, however, can generate some swing with the new ball.

    The only previous game here this season saw PBKS defeat Kolkata Knight Riders by seven runs (DLS method) after posting 191/5.

    The trend of win-toss-bowl-first is likely to continue due to the dew factor.

    Stats 

    How have PBKS fared at this venue? 

    Since 2018, PBKS have claimed nine victories in 11 games played in Mohali.

    Overall, however, they have just 31 victories in 57 matches at this venue.

    They suffered defeats 26 times. Meanwhile, chasing teams have won 32 of the 57 IPL games played at this location.

    The average first-innings run rate of 8.42 in IPL here is the testimony of the good batting surface.
