Venue: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai
Pitch Report:
The pitch at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is generally considered to be batting-friendly, especially in the limited-overs format. The surface is usually flat, with a good amount of bounce and carry, which allows the batsmen to play their shots freely. The boundaries at the Wankhede Stadium are relatively short, which further favours the batsmen. The dew factor in evening games can also come into play, making it easier for the team batting second to chase down a target.
