Sri Lanka’s limited-overs tour of India gets underway on Tuesday with the 1st T20. The Tour consists of 3 T20Is and 3 ODIs. The Wankhede Stadium of Mumbai will be hosting the 1st of the 3 T20Is. Further, the 2nd and 3rd T20 will be played at Pune and Rajkot respectively. The ODIs are scheduled to be played next week. In this article, we will be discussing the Pitch Report of the Wankhede Stadium Mumbai for the 1st IND vs SL T20.

In the absence of Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya will be seen leading the Indian side in the T20 series. Indian batting star, Virat Kohli, as well won’t be seen playing the T20s. Suryakumar Yadav has been given the vice-captaincy for the first time ever.

Wankhede Stadium Mumbai Pitch Report for the 1st IND vs SL T20

The pitch at the Wankhede Stadium is a belter of a surface where the batters enjoy their time. The pitch has very little on offer for the bowlers. It is only in the initial few overs that the pacers may find some assistance off the pitch. For the remaining part of the innings, the batters will be seen dominating. The ball skids on the Wankhede pitch and hence the batters are able to use the pace of the bowlers. The short boundaries in the stadium as well aid the scoring rate. It becomes even hard for the bowlers to contain the batters in the second innings owing to the due factor.

Looking at the past records of the Wankhede Stadium, any side would be eying to chase upon winning the toss here. The side batting first should look to score around 180 in order to challenge the opposition at this venue.

Mumbai Weather during the 1st IND vs SL T20

The weather will remain clear in Mumbai on the matchday. Hence, the fans would be able to enjoy an interruption-free game. High 31ºC. Winds NNW at 15 to 25 km/h.
