MI vs LSG: Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report
The pitch at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai generally favours batters and is known for producing high-scoring encounters. On today’s surface, a par score would be around 180-200. While it's still a good track for batting, spinners are also expected to get some assistance as the game progresses.
Early on, we could see some swing on offer for the bowlers, giving them a brief window to make an impact. If bowlers fail to capitalize with the new ball, it becomes increasingly difficult to contain the batters during the middle overs, especially with the short boundaries and quick outfield.
Bowling first remains the preferred option, as dew in the second innings can further tilt the balance in favour of the chasing side. Pacers may find some help initially, but disciplined execution will be key to making the most of it.
