MI vs CSK, IPL 2024 Match 29: Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report
It seems likely that the team winning the toss will opt to chase due to the expected dew factor. With the pitch favoring high scores, similar to recent matches, maintaining consistency in the team lineup is crucial. Shreyas Gopal may retain his place over Piyush Chawla, while MI might consider bringing in Jasprit Bumrah to counter Shivam Dube’s aggressive batting for CSK. Given the limited impact of spinners at Wankhede, Ravindra Jadeja could be strategically used, possibly introduced early to counter MI’s power hitters.
