The pitches in Wankhede are known to be belters, where the batters have piled on the runs. But the wickets in the venue have also assisted quicks, providing good bounce and movement early doors of the game. The games here will favour the chasing teams due to the dew in the night.Batsmen need to be watchful against spinners and be prepared to rotate the strike rather than going for aggressive shots. Building partnerships and pacing the innings become crucial on this pitch. Fast bowlers also have a role to play, especially in the initial overs when the ball may seam and swing a bit. However, their effectiveness usually decreases as the match progresses.
Overall, the Wankhede Stadium pitch is known to produce competitive matches, providing opportunities for both batsmen and bowlers. It often rewards skillful pace bowling and strategic batting, making it a fascinating venue for cricket enthusiasts
