MI vs RCB Pitch report for Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai – IPL 2025

The Wankhede pitch is usually flat and good for batting. But at night, fast bowlers may get some help in the first few overs when the ball is new. If batsmen play carefully in the beginning, it becomes easier to score runs later.

Spin bowlers don’t get much help here. The pitch does not turn much, and it is hard and firm, which makes it tough for slow bowlers.

The average first-innings score at Wankhede is around 170. RCB made the highest IPL score here — 235/1 against MI in 2015. In the last season, four matches had scores above 200 runs. Mumbai Indians even scored 234/5 against Delhi Capitals.

Since this ground gives a lot of runs, both teams will try to score around 190-200 to feel safe.
