Report on Wankhede Stadium Pitch
Batters find heaven at the Wankhede Stadium because of its short boundaries and quick outfield. Early swing with the new ball, though, might challenge openers.
Teams chasing have traditionally had an advantage here; they have won 65 of 119 games played. If the hitters can settle in early, you should get a high-scoring thriller.
