WPL 2023: DY Patil Stadium Pitch Report, Weather Forecast, Women’s T20 & IPL Records & Stats

The DY Patil Stadium, a multi-sport facility located in Nerul in Navi Mumbai, has played hosts to only one international match since it's establishment in 2008.

The venue, which is operated by the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy, however, has hosted a fair amount of Indian Premier League matches over the years, also serving as home to record IPL champions Mumbai Indians as well as now defunct Pune Warriors and Deccan Chargers.

DY Patil Stadium Pitch Report

The wickets at the venue had produced some high-scoring matches in IPL 2022 and the recent women's international matches as well as the WPL. While the earlier matches in WPL saw big totals, the last few matches have been low-scoring affairs with the team batting first struggling to post a big total and the chasing team also occasionally struggling to get over the line. But most matches have ended in favour of the chasing rather than the team defending totals so far.
