Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai Pitch Report

"Let’s reflect on the boundary sizes first – to my right it's 60m and to my left, it’s 65m, down the ground it's 74m. I think you got two different games from two different ends, if you look at this end it is quite dry than what we have come to expect, still there is plenty of runs to be had, I think captains will utilise spin bowling down into this because it’s quite dry and it might grip," Michael Clarke and Daren Ganga said ahead of MI vs KKR match - the last match at the venue which was played at a fresh strip.

"But, if we continue to walk up this pitch, we can see that the grass covering is a lot more even so the fast bowlers might get more pace and bite bowling from this end up here. So, from a batting perspective, you have to see which overs you are going to capitalize on, whom you are going to attack.

"I spoke to the groundsmen and they are expecting some dew tonight so the toss is important. The average first innings score here in the four matches this season is 190. It’s not humid, there is no breeze around so I still think these are good batting conditions and I feel 190 is going to be below-par on this pitch," they added.

In the match, KKR scored 169 in 19.5 overs after being asked to bat first. Pacers picked eight wickets, while one wicket was taken by spinner Piyush Chawla. Andre Russell got run out. In reply, Mumbai were bundled out for 145 in 18.5 overs. Pacers picked six wickets, while spinners four.

Due to the dew factor, team winning the toss will certainly look to bowl first. The average score in the last five T20s at the venue is 186. Team winning the toss has opted to bowl first 78 percent of the time in last five years.
