Wankhede Stadium Mumbai Pitch Report: Is the surface batting or bowling friendly?

The surface at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is generally known for its batting-friendly nature. The track's pace and bounce make it an ideal wicket for the batters, especially those who are good off the back foot. 

Furthermore, the short square boundaries are a nightmare for the bowlers, who can't afford to err in their lines and length. Having said that, the pitch at Wankhede Stadium also offers a hint of seam movement to the fast bowlers with the new ball. The seamers can also get some swing in the air due to the sea breeze. However, overall, it is expected to be an excellent batting deck. 

Unlike the new ball bowlers and batters, the spinners won't likely get significant turn from the surface. So, they will mostly rely on accuracy to succeed at this venue. 

Although teams setting the target won four out of the seven matches in Mumbai last season, the toss-winning side could opt to bowl first, as the track doesn't slow down with time.
