Pitch Report

The surface at the Wankhede Stadium is widely regarded as batting-friendly. The short boundaries and true bounce make stroke play easier, allowing batters to score freely. While pacers may extract some movement during the initial overs, conditions tend to favour batters as the match progresses. In the previous game at this venue, West Indies scored 254 runs while batting first. This shows good batting conditions at this venue.
