PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

We expect a warm and humid evening in Mumbai. The wicket has played well so far in the season, and batters have had a good time on this wicket. The ball is coming to the bat nicely, allowing them to play their strokes easily. There is little margin of error for the bowlers, and the side batting first would be looking at a score of over 180 runs in this game.

Venue Details

Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy is one of the best batting wickets in India. The ball comes onto the bat nicely, and we have seen big scores by batters. It is a difficult venue for the fast bowler, with the wicket offering them very little. Spinners have enjoyed success here as the dry wicket lets them turn the ball sharply.

Toss: To Bowl

In the last five games played here, the side chasing the score has gone on to win four of them. The wicket is good for chasing big scores, and the sides have always struggled to put up a winning score at this venue. The side winning the toss would have no hesitation in bowling first.
