Wankhede Stadium Average Score in T20 History

Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is set to host its first match of Indian Premier League 2023 tonight. Mumbai Indians will face Chennai Super Kings, which is also called the El-Classico of IPL. Both of them are two of the most-followed franchises in the competition.

Wankhede Stadium hosted a lot of matches last season as well, and this time seven home matches of Mumbai Indians will be played here. This stadium is famous for high-scoring encounters, and the red soil pitches here are perfect for that.

The five-time champions have lost their first match of the tournament, and they would want to take advantage of the home conditions. Skipper Rohit Sharma’s record at the Wankhede has been great, and as per his current form, he won’t get a better track to come back in form.
