MI vs CSK Match 38 IPL 2025: Pitch Report at Wankhede Stadium
The pitch of Wankhede Stadium is made of red soil and is considered a paradise for batting. In the beginning, bowlers get bounce, where if they bowl on the right line and length, they can prove to be lethal on the pitch. Due to the short boundaries, it is not easy to score runs against spinners as well. So far 118 T20 matches have been played at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium, in which the team batting first has won 55 matches while the teams chasing the target have won 63 times.
The average score of the first innings on the Wankhede Stadium pitch is 178 runs, while about 156 runs are scored in the second innings. However, the way the matches are being played this season, at least 190 runs can be expected from the first innings here. Here, dew in the second innings can spoil the game of the fielding team. In such a situation, the team winning the toss will prefer to bowl first. The match is at night, so the breeze coming from the sea can help the fast bowlers.
