MI vs RCB, 20th Match, IPL 2025: Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai Pitch Report
The last match played here saw Kolkata Knight Riders fold for 116 runs. But it’s not a completely bowling-friendly venue.
The red soil pitch offers enough bounce and carry, which makes stroke-making easy for batters. If they settle down on the pitch, batters can score plenty of runs.
Bowlers will also have some help. Pacers might get some movement early on, while spinners will come into play as the pitch deteriorates.
