MI vs RCB: Pitch Report
Today’s match will be played on the red soil pitch of Wankhede Stadium, which is known to be batting-friendly. The short boundaries further increase the chances of a high-scoring game. Hence, fans can expect a thrilling contest with plenty of runs.
However, a key factor to watch out for is the dew. If dew comes into play, both teams would prefer to bowl first after winning the toss, as chasing targets at Wankhede is often easier.
