IPL 2022 Pitch Report: Pacers set to get BIG ADVANTAGE in Mumbai, spinners to rule the roost in Pune – Check IPL pitch report
IPL Pitches in Mumbai: Mumbai is host 55 matches of IPL 2022 across Wankhede Stadium, Brabourne Stadium, and DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. The curators here have opted for a surface of red soil.
In Pune it will be a black soil surface with a massive difference in results and conditions.
IPL 2022 Pitch Report
The surfaces in Mumbai should aid run-scoring as has been the case traditionally, with the red soil aiding pace and bounce.
Meanwhile, the black soil will provide more help to the spinners, but should still be a run-fest, as seen in the recent games India played at the venue.

Here’s the pitch report for all stadiums used in IPL 2022:

Wankhede Stadium IPL 2022 PITCH

The Wankhede is traditionally a chasing ground with teams using the dew to their advantage to chase down totals. Only three of the last 13 games at the venue have been won by teams batting first, with the first-innings score in the last 20 games being 175.

One can expect aggressive batters and fast and/or swing bowlers to dominate. Quicks have taken close to 73% of the wickets here in the last 20 games.

Gujarat Titans head coach Ashish Nehra and RCB quick Harshal Patel, beleive that the red soil surface will have more pace and bounce and could be utilised by the fast bowlers to make an impact.

Speaking to ESPNCricinfo, Nehra pointed out that aggressive strike bowlers can easily take quick wickets in the powerplay ad perhaps neutralise the damage that batters could potentially carry out in the latter half of the innings

“With the new ball you have seen bowlers take two or three wickets in the first three overs, which you don’t see in Chennai or Hyderabad. You have to capitalise upfront. If you are bowling well you will get your reward”.

Brabourne stadium IPL 2022 PITCH

It has been a long time since the Brabourne stadium hosted a competitive T20 match, but like the Wankhede, it remains a high-scoring surface. Another red soil pitch, the ground should have the same characteristic as the Wankhede meaning the pacers could again make merry, while scores in the region above 170 would be the norm. Spinners could come into play more, considering the dimensions are much larger here than at the Wankhede.

Speaking to ESPNCricinfo, Harshal Patel said, “The biggest characteristic of red-soil pitches is the bounce it offers and whenever there is bounce the ball tends to travel further,” Harshal said. “It can be both an advantage and a disadvantage. I suspect in the latter half of the tournament it will start turning because of the sheer number of games being played and the heat.”

DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai

It has been a decade since the IPL was played here with the stadium being used as a football ground for the last two years. While no data as such is available for the venue, the stadium should be one of the tougher venues to score, with the ground dimensions being pretty big compared to the other venues in Mumbai. The outfields however are expected to be fast meaning it would again be a high run-scoring ground.

MCA Stadium Pune PITCH REPORT

The MCA Stadium has only hosted 1 T20 game in the last four years, but there has been a great shift from slow turning tracks to a high scoring venue with pace on offer. Chasing is again the preferred option with teams winning nine of the last 14 games. The black soil should give the spinners more assistance as compared to the venues in Mumbai, with some turn and bounce.

The venue also has shorter boundaries compared to Brabourne. Spinners could play a big role in day games here as they have conceded only 6.78 runs per over and strike once every 23 balls. Among the four IPL venues this year in the league stage, we could see spinners come into play the earliest at Pune compared to the other three venues.
