Match 54: MI vs RCB Pitch and Weather Report

Pitch Report

The most recent match played at Wankhede Stadium revealed that the pitch there is favourable for batsmen due to its good bounce and speed, making it advantageous for them. Additionally, it is recognised that fast bowlers can also benefit from the pitch, particularly during the first few overs, as the ball tends to spin and offer some swing and bounce. However, as the game continues, the field becomes flatter, which makes it simpler for batsmen to score runs.

‍

• 1st Inning Pitch Behaviour: Advantage for batsmen

• 2nd Inning Pitch Behaviour: More advantage for batsman than bowler

• Initial Ball Movement (1st Inning): High chance

• Initial Spin Movement (1st Inning): Chance of turn on pitch

• Middle Over: Scoring pitch

• Due factor: Less chance of due

• Pitch Nature: Dry pitch

‍

Despite its reputation for being a pitch that favours batsmen, it can also offer benefits to bowlers. In evening matches, there is a possibility of early seam and swing movements with the ball, which can be advantageous for bowlers. Additionally, spin bowlers tend to find the pitch helpful in the later stage of the game.

‍

Weather Report

As per the weather report for May 9th, 2023, Mumbai is anticipated to experience a temperature of 29℃ at the time of the match, with a wind speed of 21 km/h and a humidity level of 61%. 

The high temperature has resulted in a solid and even pitch that typically favours batsmen, making it easy for them to score boundaries. However, there is a chance of some seam and swing movements from the ball in the early stages of the game, which can benefit both the batsmen and the bowlers.
