Mullanpur Stadium Pitch Report: Is It Batting Or Bowling Friendly?

The surface at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium in Mullanpur might offer a hint of seam movement and extra bounce to the pacers early on with the new ball. As it's the first IPL 2025 match at this venue, the track could be fresh and lively. 

So, the batters must negotiate the first few overs before shifting gears. If they play out the first few overs, the batters can capitalise on the pitch's pace to score quick runs. 

The spinners might get some turn in the middle overs; but overall, the batters and pace bowlers are expected to play more significant roles at this venue. 

As it's the first game of the season in Mullanpur, the track will likely play similarly across both innings. Also, considering the chasing sides have won three out of five IPL matches here, the toss-winner could bowl first.
