Wankhede Stadium Mumbai Pitch Report for IPL 2023
The Wankhede wicket is favorable for both pacers and spinners. Being near the Arabian Sea is quite advantageous for swing bowlers, especially in the morning. Yet on rare occasions, when the ground turns dramatically over the last days of a Test match, spinners have flourished. The new ball does a little bit in limited-overs cricket, but as the inning goes on, the surface has a tendency to ease off and favor batters.
Wankhede Stadium Mumbai Weather Forecast for IPL 2023
Mumbai experiences steady temperature throughout the year. The temperature often reaches its highest point during the day, which in April might reach 35–36°C. A decent pitch for night matches despite being quite a hot place during the day. Due to its shore sharing with the Arabian Sea, the humidity also peaks high here.
