Wankhede Stadium-Pitch Report
In the last match played in the Wankhede stadium was a belter of a pitch, we will get a similar pitch for this match too. The wicket will play well throughout the match but during the later half of the game, it might bring little difficulty for bowlers to grip the ball especially spinners. So any team will field first and prefer to chase the score batting second.
