Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report

In the forthcoming Mumbai Indians vs Chennai Super Kings match, the pitch is likely to support the bowlers, of course, this stadium has a history of big scores but today the situation can be the opposite. Here spinners will dominate as compared to fast bowlers. A score of 190 can be considered good while batting first.

However, the powerplay will be important, here the team will have to focus on scoring more runs. Dew will play an important role, so winning the toss and choosing to bowl first here will be the right decision. Batting in the second innings will be easier than the first innings.
