Punjab faced Lucknow Super Giants in their last game where batting first, Lucknow was in deep trouble. Contributions from Pooran, Badoni and Samad did help them reach a respectable total of 171 but the score proved to be too less for the Punjab batters. They did not break a sweat in the chase as half-centuries from Prabhsimran and Shreyas meant an easy win by eight wickets.

Rajasthan played against Chennai Super Kings in the previous game, where they were sent to bat first. After losing a wicket early, Nitish Rana played a fantastic counter-attacking knock of 81 off just 36 balls, but then CSK bowlers pulled the game back by restricting them to 182. Even though Chennai lost the game by just six runs, they were never really in the chase, and even a half-century knock from Gaikwad could not save them.

Over the course of the previous season, the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium's pitch has exhibited a variety of behaviors. It was still a legitimate batting wicket in the Delhi vs. Punjab match during the day. The wicket had shown slowness later in the match between Hyderabad and the home team, Punjab. 

In the Punjab vs. Rajasthan match, where the cutter and spinner bowlers were getting solid wicket support, its genuine qualities were demonstrated. Nonetheless, it was another high-scoring wicket in the Punjab vs. Mumbai game. 

AccuWeather predicts that Mullanpur's Stadium will be hot, approximately 36°C during the day and 16°C at night. Meanwhile, the wind will blow from the northwest at a range of 9 to 13 km/h with gusts of 19 to 28 km/h. With 25% humidity during the day, there are no predictions of precipitation or thunderstorms. As a result, even though the weather will be perfect for an exciting evening cricket match, players will encounter humid conditions at the stadium.
