Amritsar Soormas Preview

Amritsar Soormas have experienced a rollercoaster ride in the Sher-e-Punjab T20 2026. After a loss on the final league matchday, Amritsar slipped from 2nd place to 4th place with 4 wins and as many losses in eight matches.

They started the season with losses to Mohali Kings and Jalandhar Warriors but recovered with wins over Fazilka Falcons, a big victory against Mohali Kings, and a 9 run win over Jalandhar Warriors. They were in action on the final matchday, where they lost to Ludhiana Lions and slipped to 4th on the points table.

Naman Dhir continues his outstanding tournament with 535 runs in eight innings and remains the backbone of the batting unit. He is the leading run scorer of the tournament going into the semi-finals. The 26-year-old has scored two centuries this season but his knock of 173 will forever remain the most significant one in T20 cricket.

Icon player Abhishek Sharma has scored 242 but the left-hand opening batter is not available for selection after being picked to the Indian team for the upcoming series. Meanwhile, Rahul Kumar (205), Abhay Choudhary (172), Jashanpreet Singh-Sidhu (128) and Sahaj Dhawan (121) have all made solid contributions.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The early weather forecast for the matchday in Mohali suggests it will be a slightly cloudy day with the sun peeking through. The temperature is likely to be around 34-36°C and should feel hot and humid. With 20-30% probability of precipitation, chances of some rain cannot be completely ruled out.

MKS vs ASS Pitch Report

The IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali is a surface that offers a balanced to slightly batting-friendly surface. We have seen plenty of runs this season. There is usually some seam and bounce available early for fast bowlers, especially under any cloud cover. As the match progresses, the pitch hardens and becomes ideal for playing shots, with the quick outfield a major factor. The average first inning score throughout the Sher-e-Punjab 2026 has hovered around the 200 runs mark.

Toss: To Bowl

The captain who win the toss would mostly want to bowl first at the IS Bindra surface in Mohali. The majority of the games this season have been won by the chasing team. In-fact in the last five games, three times the bowling first team won.
