PBKS vs CSK Wankhede Stadium pitch report
Wankhede Stadium’s pitch has always been a paradise for the batters, and it was proved in the Rajasthan Royals vs Delhi Capitals game. However, this season has not been that great in terms of scoring at this venue comparatively.
A total of seven games have been played in IPL 2022 so far at the Wankhede Stadium, where the average 1st innings score has been 167 runs. Out of seven games, four games have been won by the chasing teams. The boundaries of this ground are not that large, and the batters won’t have any issues in clearing the fence.
The pacers can easily swing the ball in the initial overs with the new ball. In the middle overs, the spinners can take advantage of the drier side of the wicket. Chennai Super Kings have the tendency to play three spinners in their eleven.
Rajasthan Royals’ score of 222 runs is the highest score at this ground this season, and it was defended at the end. The dew factor will again play a crucial part and both teams would want to bowl first.
