Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai: Pitch Report
The Wankhede pitch is one of the best batting surfaces in the IPL. In IPL 2026, scores around and above 190–200 have become common, with several teams posting 200+ totals at this venue.
Key characteristics:
- Flat and true bounce, excellent for stroke-play.
- Some early swing and carry for fast bowlers.
- Very little help for spinners once the ball settles.
- Heavy dew in the second innings makes bowling extremely difficult, especially with the white ball.
- Toss factor: recent IPL 2026 games at Wankhede show a slight advantage to teams batting second.
The toss-winning captain is likely to chase again, given the dew-assisted conditions and the batting-friendly surface.

No rain is expected in Mumbai for this match.
- Temperature: Around 30–32°C

- If LSG bat first and post 195–205, they will be pushing their absolute limit.
