Pitch report · Mumbai, India
Wankhede Stadium
True bounce, dew-driven second innings.
Wankhede is one of the most batter-friendly venues in world cricket. The square boundaries are short, the pitch has even bounce, and the sea breeze means dew often plays a decisive role under lights. Captains winning the toss in T20s here typically prefer to chase — the surface skids on once the lights take effect.

Spin vs pace

Bat second in T20s. The dew makes chasing the dominant strategy when it kicks in.
