Mumbai is to host 55 matches of IPL 2022 across Wankhede Stadium, Brabourne Stadium, and DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai. The curators here have opted for a surface of red soil. In Pune, it will be a black soil surface with a massive difference in results and conditions.

The surfaces in Mumbai should aid run-scoring as has been the case traditionally, with the red soil aiding pace and bounce. Meanwhile, the black soil will provide more help to the spinners, but should still be a run-fest, as seen in the recent games India played at the venue.

The Wankhede is traditionally a chasing ground with teams using the dew to their advantage to chase down totals. Only three of the last 13 games at the venue have been won by teams batting first, with the first-innings score in the last 20 games being 175.

One can expect aggressive batters and fast and/or swing bowlers to dominate. Quicks have taken close to 73% of the wickets here in the last 20 games. The iconic Wankhede Stadium provides an extremely batting-friendly surface with a good bounce on offer.

Often the surface produces high scoring fixtures and we expect the same in the case of the two new IPL teams. Dew will certainly it’s part in the game. Captain winning the toss would love to bowl first.
