Mohali Cricket Stadium records: PCA Mohali Stadium T20 records and highest innings total

Mohali Cricket Stadium records: Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium will be hosting a T20 after three years tonight.

Been hosting international cricket since 1993, Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium will be hosting its 45th match in the form of the first of three India vs Australia T20I tonight. Having hosted an India-Sri Lanka Test match earlier this year, 2022 will be the eighth instance of Mohali hosting more than one bilateral match in a year.

As far as T20s are concerned, the shortest format has returned to the city after three years. Since India-South Africa T20I in 2019, Mohali hasn’t even hosted a domestic T20.

While India have won all the three T20Is played at this venue, Australia have won and lost a match each here. A solitary India-Australia T20I at the PCA Stadium had witnessed former India captain Virat Kohli scoring a mind-blowing and match-winning 82* (51) in a 161-run chase six years ago.
