Pitch Report: Made of Red soil, Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium pitch has always been a slow turner. Over the years, it has been supporting fast and spin bowlers. The familiarity of the Arabian Sea has been helping the swing bowlers in the early hours of any cricket match. Spinners are known to be useful in the last one or two days of the test matches hosted by this ground. The pitch at Wankhede also favours the batsmen as the innings progresses.
