On Thursday, India will lock horns with Afghanistan in the first T20I of the upcoming three-match series at Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium, Mohali. India, studded with superstars like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, enter as the favourites to win this contest. 

However, Afghanistan, led by Ibrahim Zadran, possesses everything a team needs to succeed in the shortest format and has the calibre to surprise the hosts. 

So, as both teams prepare to take on each other, let's see how the pitch at Mohali will behave throughout the contest.

The surface at the Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium will be flat and conducive for batting. There could be a hint of seam movement for the new ball bowlers, but the batters can reap the rewards upon getting set on this batting beauty. 

The track's even pace and bounce aid in stroke play, as it has traditionally been a high-scoring ground in white-ball cricket. Statistically, the average scoring rate at this venue reads 9.13, a significantly high figure when it comes to T20Is. 

The spinners might get some turn in the first half, but with dew coming in, the pitch will behave like an absolute highway in the second innings. As it will become significantly challenging to defend at this venue, the toss-winner will likely bowl first.
