Wankhede Stadium Mumbai Pitch Report

The Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai has a reputation for favouring batsmen, the track has short square boundaries, with pace and bounce available making strokeplay easy for the batsman. 

In the first half of the game, in the powerplay, the pitch provides some assistance to the fast bowlers, who can use the seam movement and scalp a couple of wickets. The spinners won't likely get any help from the pitch. 

The pitch at the Wankhede is batting-friendly, so it is expected to be a high-scoring game generally. The batters have to utilise the help provided from the surface to score runs. 

The toss plays a vital role at this ground, so the team that generally wins the toss opts to bowl first and chase the target.
