On the other hand, the Kane Williamson-led SRH managed to get off the mark by registering their first win of the season against CSK a couple of days ago, at the DY Patil stadium itself.

DY Patil Stadium pitch report for SRH vs GT

With the stadium set to host its 7th match of the ongoing season on Monday, the matches from here onwards would be played on the used pitches.

For those unaware, the pitches across the three IPL 2022 venues in Mumbai are made up of the red soil, which is prone to wear and tear with each successive match.

This is enough indication, that it is now time for the spinners to come into the game, with the ball likely to grip and turn off the surface, which would now not be as lively as it was during the initial few matches at this venue.

The same was visible during the previous match at this venue between CSK and SRH, where the former included an extra Sri Lankan spinner Maheesh Theekshana in the playing 11.

The pitch is likely to have a decent covering of grass, as was witnessed during the aforementioned encounter. Despite that, one can expect the pitch to not be quick, with scores in the vicinity of 160 likely to be posted by the team batting first.
