The pitch at the Wankhede Stadium has always been a paradise for the batters. There is a red-soil pitch at the venue which provides an even bounce for the batters to hit the ball easily. The wear and tear in the pitch are negligible as well.

Chennai Super Kings have recorded the lowest score at the ground this season, where they scored 131 runs in the opening game of the tournament. The highest score at this ground this season has been made by Rajasthan Royals, where they made 222 runs against Delhi Capitals.
Being a day game, the dew factor won’t play any kind of impact in this game and batting first won’t be a bad option here. The pacers won’t get any movement as well from the pitch in the initial overs. In the middle-overs, the spinners can play a crucial role as the oddballs are staying low at this surface.
