Mohali's pitch is suitable for both bowling and batting

The pitch of Punjab Cricket Association IS Bindra Stadium is suitable for both batting and bowling. This ground initially helps the fast bowlers with swing and bounce but as the match progresses the pitch flattens out making it easier for the batsmen to score runs.
