Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai: Pitch Report

Well known for producing good sporting wickets, the Wankhede pitch always provides something for both batters and bowlers. Batters, however, do have a slight upper hand thanks to a flat wicket and the shorter dimensions of the ground. The average first innings score in the four matches played so far in the tournament is 172.

India's T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav is the standout player in the TKMNE squad. Following a disappointing Indian Premier League, the 35-year-old will want a good tournament to regain some form ahead of a busy white-ball calendar, which will take the Men in Blue to Ireland and England in the coming months. 

Probable Best Bowler: Sylvester D'Souza

Sylvester D'Souza is the new-ball bowler for TKMNE, who had an excellent opening game against the North Mumbai Panthers. The 27-year-old bowled three overs and conceded just 23 runs whilst taking two wickets.
