The surface of Mumbai’s historic Wankhede Stadium is considered to help batters. A high-scoring game may be anticipated given the two teams’ explosive batting lineups. The speedy outfield of the stadium serves as the cherry on top, making it easier for the batsmen to score runs quickly due to the wicket’s flatness and hardness.
