Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai Pitch Report

"The previous game (MI vs RCB) here was a high scoring game, but when you venture longer into the tournament the wickets tend to play a bit differently. This surface is a lot drier and when you use the same pitch consecutively then the wicket will show some semblance of dry patches. It still looks a beautiful wicket, not a wicket where you get rolled over for a 100 odd runs. There will be runs but today we could see the spinners play in the powerplay. They are spraying some anti-dew substance onto the outfield, but dew could play a factor. You certainly want to be chasing on the surface," Ian Bishop and Kevin Pietersen had reckoned ahead of the MI vs CSK match on April 14 - the last match at the venue in IPL 2024.

In the match, Chennai scored 206/4 after being asked to bat first. Pacers picked three of the four wickets. In reply, Mumbai Indians could manage to score 186/6 in 20 overs. Each of the six wickets were taken by CSK pacers.

The average score in the last five T20s is 192. The team winning the toss has opted to bowl first 78 percent of the time in the last five years.
