Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report:
The Wankhede Stadium pitch, known for its unpredictable nature in T20 cricket, could set the stage for a thrilling high-scoring match. The fresh surface often favours batters early on, and the stadium’s short boundaries offer ample opportunities for sixes and fours. The decision to field first could be a strategic one for the team winning the toss, as the expected dew later in the evening might alter the pitch conditions, potentially benefiting the batters in the second innings.
