PBKS Vs MI: Pitch Report
The pitch here is classically a haven for batters. The even bounce and flat surface offer the best possible foundation for stroke play, particularly under lights. Bowlers, especially pacers, will have to use variations and intelligent execution to remain in the game on this pitch. Spinners can expect some grip in the initial stages, but the factor of dew in the night can reduce their effectiveness as the day wears on.

With a high-scoring game on the cards, teams will be keen to chase. The presence of dew is likely to benefit the batters in the second innings, making it tougher for bowlers to grip the ball.
PBKS Vs MI: Toss Strategy
Winning the coin toss and choosing to field first seems to be the more intelligent decision. Pursuing under lights has been beneficial at this ground, and with conditions likely to favor the batters in later stages, opting to set a target might be risky. With any score over 210 going to put pressure on the opposition, no score is really safe on this ground.
