Pitch Report

The pitch at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, is generally considered a batting-friendly surface. The short boundaries and flat pitch could be helpful for batters, and the ball comes onto the bat easily. The pacers may get some assistance in the early overs, but scoring becomes easier later on. In the last match as well, the batsmen dominated, and the team managed to score over 190 runs in the first innings.
