SA vs BAN Pitch Report: Wankhede Stadium

The Wankhede Stadium offers a batting-friendly surface. The pitch remains great for batters throughout the match and allows them to hit the ball through its line.

The sample size for the ground is big enough, with just 24 ODIs being played here. In these matches, the average first-inning score is 251, with the side batting first and second winning an equal amount of games (12 matches apiece).

The highest score posted here is 438/4 by South Africa in 2015 against India. Conversely, the lowest total posted here is 115 by Bangladesh in 1998 against India.

While the average score here is a touch above 250, the sole World Cup 2023 match played here saw South Africa score 399 runs in the first inning. Due to excess heat in the day and a batting-friendly surface, the side that wins the toss can elect to bat first, put runs on the board, and exert pressure on the chasing side.

A run-fest can be expected in Mumbai between South Africa and Bangladesh.
