DY Patil Stadium pitch report

The pitches across all the stadiums in IPL 2022 have begun to dry up with each successive match, and the DY Patil Stadium is no different. However, with the groundsmen making sure to leave tufts of grass on the pitches, the fast bowlers have come into play throughout the 40 Overs, especially with the hard, new ball.

The previous match at this venue between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) saw the pacers picking 9 off the 13 wickets.

Moreover, with the matches now taking place on the used, red soil pitches, the wear and tear has also brought the spinners into play, who would continue to take advantage of the slowness of the wicket to good effect.

Expect the side batting first to post a score near the 165-run mark, despite the bowlers likely to dominate the overall proceedings.
