MI vs RCB: Ground Pitch Report

The surface at Wankhede Stadium is very flat, and it is brilliant for batting. Shorter boundaries, consistent bounce, and a fast outfield make this wicket a paradise for the batters. Scoring or chasing 220+ is also pretty normal here. There are chances of dew in the second innings, which is why bowling first can be an edge.
