Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report
The Wankhede Stadium’s pitch is an excellent for batting as it allows batter to hit through the line from the get go. Quick outfields along with short boundaries help batters to set up large scores for themselves and their teams. There is not much room for errors for bowlers and they can expect to be attacked even if they slightly off their mark. As seen in the last game, the new ball may assist pace bowlers and play a few tricks but once you whether that storm, it is see the ball hit the ball mantra for batters.
Two matches have been played here this season and both have resulted in a win for the chasing team. The first match between MI and CSK, saw the Men in Yellow claim an easy with 2 overs left and 7 wickets in hand. The second game saw an even dominant performance from the chasing side as MI thumped KKR. While chasing 186 runs, MI eased through the finish line playing just 17.4 overs, with 5 wickets still left and an run rate of over 10.6.
