The three-match series between Australia and India will get underway on Friday (September 22) at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali.
In contrast to the hosts, who will be without popular individuals such as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya, and Kuldeep Yadav for the first two outings, the Kangaroos will enter the match with a squad that is at full strength.
So, what were the ODI results at PCA Stadium in the past? Let us delve into it in detail.
Punjab Cricket Association Stadium Mohali ODI Records
The first-ever ODI at Punjab Cricket Association Stadium was played on November 22, 1993. Since then, 25 ODI matches have been played at this venue, with India winning 10 of them for a victory percentage of 40%.

As you can see from the above-average first-innings score, players enjoy batting in Mohali in ODIs.
The Men in Blue will dearly miss their all-format captain Rohit Sharma, who blasted a scintillating 208* at this venue against Sri Lanka back in 2017. Needless to say, it remains the best individual score in ODIs here.
A closer look at the results at PCA Stadium shows that 15 out of 25 games were won by teams losing the coin toss.
Therefore, buckle up because one of cricket's greatest rivalries is about to start, and Mohali will kick off the proceedings.
