Maharaja Yadvendra Singh International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
The pitch at the Maharaja Yadvendra Singh International Cricket Stadium, New Chandigarh continues to provide a balanced contest between bat and ball throughout IPL 2026. The fast bowlers are expected to enjoy good bounce and carry from the new ball during the powerplay, while the spinners can become increasingly effective as the surface becomes slower later in the innings.
The venue’s sand-based outfield and excellent drainage system have also ensured consistent playing conditions. A first innings total in the range of 180-200 is likely to be competitive, although recent matches at the venue have shown that the batsmen can dominate if settled early. Dew is also expected to play an important role in the second innings, which is why the captain who wins the toss may prefer to bowl first.
