MI vs GT Pitch Report: What to Expect from Wankhede Pitch?
The pitch at the Wankhede Stadium is known to favour batsmen due to the red soil surface and short boundaries. This means that today’s MI vs GT encounter could be a high-scoring one. Dew is expected to settle in the second innings, so the captain winning the toss is likely to opt for bowling first.
Mumbai Indians need to win at least two out of their remaining three games to secure a spot in the playoffs.
