IPL 2025 MI vs KKR Pitch Report, Venue Stats – Wankhede Stadium
As we mentioned above, this will be the first IPL 2025 match at the Wankhede Stadium. So the pitch should be fresh. That means, we might see some movement and a good bounce when the fast bowlers bowl with the new ball, especially in the first innings. But, the surface is typically a balanced one. As soon as the ball loses some of the shine, it should be batters dominating the proceedings.
