Is Wankhede Stadium's Pitch batting or bowling friendly?

The pitch at Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai generally assists fast bowlers and batters. The pacers might get a hint of movement, in the air and off the pitch, with the new ball. However, after negotiating the first few overs, the batters can exploit the track's pace and bounce to score brisk runs. 

The spinners have managed only 25 per cent of the total wickets and might not play a crucial role at this venue. Considering the chasing sides have won three out of five IPL 2025 matches in Mumbai, the toss-winner could opt to bowl first.
