MI vs CSK: Pitch Report
This match will be played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. This pitch has favorable conditions for batting and big shots are easily hit. The ball comes well on the bat, making it possible to score high.
The side boundaries of this ground are also small, which does not make it difficult to cross them. This pitch becomes even more conducive to batting after the arrival of dew. However, the ball stops a bit in the first innings, making it difficult to hit shots.
Due to its proximity to the sea, the wind on this ground helps swing bowlers, as was seen in the last match when the Kolkata team was bowled out for just 100 runs.
