MI vs SRH: Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report
Today’s match at Wankhede may see spinners come into play more than usual. Despite being known as a batting-friendly venue, a high-scoring game is still expected. Dew will likely be a key factor in the second innings, making the toss important. The team winning the toss should opt to bowl first.
To defend successfully, the team batting first will need to post a total close to 220. Fast bowlers could face a tough time due to the fast outfield, which makes boundaries easier to score.
