Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report:

The Wankhede Stadium pitch, renowned for its lively nature in T20 cricket, promises a high-scoring encounter. Traditionally, the fresh surface offers early advantages to batsmen, further accentuated by the stadium’s short boundaries, which favor boundaries and sixes. Winning the toss could be crucial, with a strategic decision to field first. As dew is expected later in the evening, it might alter pitch conditions, potentially aiding the team batting second.
