Mullanpur Stadium: Pitch report for GT vs MI IPL 2025 Eliminator
The square boundaries measure 67 and 64 meters, with a 73-meter straight boundary. Unlike yesterday’s humid conditions, tonight is much drier. The pitch has noticeably less grass cover, which means bounce will remain on the higher side but the surface is likely to slow down as the match progresses. With reduced moisture and little to no dew expected, spinners could come into play in the second innings. Batting early on might be easier before the pitch grips later in the game.
