Time for two successful IPL teams to go head-to-head! That’s right, the 12th match of the Indian Premier League 2025 will be played between Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders at Mumbai’s iconic Wankhede Stadium on Monday, 31st March. Mumbai Indians have lost their first two matches and are currently placed 9th in the points table, while KKR have won one out of their two matches and sit at 6th with two points. Both teams will be eager to secure a win and improve their standings, but how will the Wankhede pitch behave? Take a look.
Wankhede Stadium pitch report
Always a batter’s paradise! The pitch at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium usually favours batters, especially in limited-overs formats like T20 or, in fact, white-ball cricket in general. It is typically a flat surface with good bounce, allowing batters to play their shots freely. The relatively short boundaries at Wankhede further benefit the batters. Even, dew can be a massive factor in evening matches, making chasing the best option here.
