Wankhede Stadium Mumbai Pitch Report: Is It Batting Or Bowling Friendly? The pitch at Wankhede Stadium is regarded as one of the most batting-friendly tracks in the country. The average scoring rate in eight men's T20Is at this venue reads 9.34, suggesting the surface's conduciveness to batting. The fast bowlers might find a hint of movement early on, but overall, the conditions will be excellent for stroke play.
 

Batters with a strong back foot game will likely enjoy the pitch's pace and bounce to score runs. Furthermore, its short square boundaries will likely be exploited by batters like Suryakumar Yadav, who can frustrate the opposition with their 360 degree stroke play.

All in all, expect a batting beauty with little help for the bowlers. So, the fast bowlers must be accurate and vary their pace wisely, while the spinners should focus on keep things tight in the middle overs. Considering the pitch doesn't change much with time and the fact that chasing teams have won five out of eight men's T20Is,
the toss-winner will likely bowl first.
