Brabourne Stadium Pitch Report: Is It Batting Or Bowling Friendly?

The pitch at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai is a batter's paradise. Runs are expected to flow here as the innings progress, with batting becoming easier under lights. The dew could play a massive factor here, which might prompt teams to chase as bowling and gripping the ball will become difficult.

Looking at the stats at this venue, the team batting second has won seven matches out of 11, while only four times have teams been able to defend the target. The average score at this venue is around 165, meaning somewhere around 180 could be the par score for the side batting first. However, there is no guarantee that a score of 180 is a winning total here, considering this is the first match of the season on this venue.

Additionally, this pitch generally favors spinners more than pacers, with the tweakers accounting for more than 70% of wickets taken at this venue in the 11 WPL matches played here in the 2023 season. Therefore, considering all the factors, we can safely assume that the side winning the toss will likely bowl first at this venue and utilize the advantage that dew presents.
