MI vs CSK: Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report
The surface at Wankhede Stadium is known for being batting-friendly, with consistent bounce and short boundaries that favor high-scoring encounters. The average first-innings score in T20s is around 190, with totals often exceeding 200. Fast bowlers can find some early swing, while spinners need to bowl tight lines to remain effective. However, if the same pitch from the last match is used, wear and tear could bring bowlers slightly into the contest. Dew is typically a factor in night games, giving an advantage to teams chasing. As a result, the toss-winning team is likely to bowl first. Expect a high-scoring game, with a slight edge for bowlers if the surface is reused.
