On Friday, two extremely competitive teams, India and Australia, will cross swords against each other in the first ODI of the three-match series. The series holds significant importance for both teams as it will allow their players to fine-tune their skills before the all-important World Cup scheduled in India next month. Both teams will also be keen to test their bench strength and ensure their reserve players get ample game time ahead of the marquee event. 

So, as the PCA stadium in Mohali gets ready to host the fascinating contest, let's see how its pitch is expected to play throughout the game. 


PCA Stadium Mohali Pitch Report

The surface at the PCA stadium in Mohali is regarded as one of the most batting-friendly tracks in India. The ball comes nicely onto the bat, and the deck gets better for batting with the day's progression. 

The seamers might get some assistance with the new ball; there could also be some turn for the spinners. But, in either case, the movement will be minimal, with the batters expected to enjoy their time in the middle. The chasing teams have emerged victorious on four of the last five ODIs played here. 

Australia chased a whopping 359-run target against the hosts in the last ODI played at the venue. So, in all probability, the toss-winner will opt to bowl first in this high-voltage face-off.
