PBKS vs RR, IPL 2025: Pitch report
While the Mullanpur pitch remains relatively untested, statistics from the previous season suggest a balanced surface. In IPL 2023, spinners enjoyed a notable advantage, registering an economy rate of just 7.08, the most economical across all 13 venues used that season. However, high-scoring encounters have been rare here, with first-innings totals exceeding 180 on only two occasions. For this game, a good batting surface is anticipated, with some early movement likely to assist seam bowlers.
