Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is one of the best batting tracks in the world and we have seen some masterclass batting displays in this edition of IPL. This track has been an absolute belter so far. A red-soil track is used here which has a good amount of bounce on it. The Pacers can move the ball a bit in the initial overs under lights.

“I think this (surface) will be an absolute beauty. There’s a nice even covering of grass right through, on a red soil wicket. It’ll get better and better as the game goes on,” Aaron Finch said in his pitch assessment ahead of the MI vs RCB match.

This is a flat track with no help for any kind of bowlers. A total of five matches have been played here so far this season where the average first innings score has been 194 runs. Out of five, four matches have been won by the chasing teams. It is safe to say that no total is safe to defend at Wankhede.

The boundaries are very small, whereas the outfield is electric as well. Both sets of bowlers would want to hide themselves. The dew factor will play a major part and captains would love to chase upon winning the toss.
