IND vs SL Pitch Report

The Wankhede pitch is known for runs and it generally favours the side batting second. The team batting second has won 5 of the 7 matches played here. Expect a high-scoring game as 12 of the 14 T20I innings on this pitch have seen scores above 170 while 4 innings breached the 200 runs mark. The last match here saw India hammering 240/3 against West Indies and not to forget England chased 230 runs against South Africa in the 2016 world T20I on the same ground.

However, as it’s winter, expect the new ball in the powerplay to swing a bit and it can mean pacers picking some early wickets.
