pitch report
Wankhede Stadium pitch report
Wankhede Stadium is considered a paradise for batsmen. He likes the pitch here very much. The boundary line here is slightly smaller than other stadiums. On the other hand, from a bowler’s point of view the pitch provides some support to the spinners, but it would be unreasonable to expect too much. Fast bowlers get help in the initial overs, in such a situation they would like to take quick wickets with the new ball.
