Brabourne Stadium Pitch Report
The pitch at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai is expected to dish out another high-scoring thriller. Teams that have batted first have enjoyed considerable success at this venue in the three matches that have happened here in this edition, as all three of them have been won by the side defending the target.
There will be some amount of seam movement on offer for the pacers, but as the match progresses, spinners will likely get into the picture, with the pitch slowing down, aiding the tweakers.
The only thing that could really cause trouble for the defending side is if dew emerges, as it will be difficult for the bowlers to grip the ball in the second half of the game. So, therefore, focusing on the conditions, it is highly likely that the captain winning the toss will be inclined towards batting first at this venue.
DC-W vs MI-W Final Toss Prediction
Looking at the conditions, team winning the toss will likely bat first.
