The location has worked well for the hitters, as seen by South Africa and India scoring more than 350 in their opening three matches in the current competition. Nonetheless, there hasn’t typically been a significant advantage for teams batting first at the location.
However, the red ground should offer a strong bounce. If dew turns out to be a major factor, the captain who wins the toss could opt to chase. Due to small cracks in the surface from hosting four matches, bowlers will also be useful in this situation as the Wankhede Stadium’s surface might favour hitters. At this site, the teams batting first have an overall advantage over the ones pursuing of 14–13.
