Pitch and Minimal Dew Factor

Because this is an afternoon fixture, the dew factor will be negligible. In evening IPL matches, dew often makes gripping the ball difficult for bowlers in the second innings, typically prompting the toss-winning captain to field first.

The dry afternoon conditions at Mullanpur will ensure an even contest between bat and ball across both innings. The pitch traditionally offers good pace and bounce for seamers early on, though it can slow down slightly, bringing spinners into the game. A light breeze of 10 to 12 km/h is expected, providing minor relief from the heat.
