Mumbai Indians vs Sunrisers Hyderabad 33rd Match Pitch Report
The Wankhede Stadium pitch is expected to assist batters due to its red-soil surface and short boundaries, setting the stage for a high-scoring encounter. Dew is likely to impact the second innings, making it harder for bowlers to grip the ball. As a result, the team winning the toss may choose to bowl first, hoping to chase under favorable conditions. With ideal batting conditions and potential dew later, the match could turn into a run-festival, especially if top-order batters find rhythm early on.
