Pitch Analysis
During evening games at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, the pitch offers a true surface with plenty of bounce and pace, encouraging batters to play their shots freely right from the start.
Fast bowlers often enjoy some early swing under the lights, but as the ball gets older and dew begins to settle, batting becomes even smoother.
Spinners generally find it tough to grip the ball in the latter half, especially when moisture sets in.
The conditions heavily lean toward chasing sides in evening fixtures, and the average first-innings score here hovers around 177.
