ENG Vs NEP Match 05 2026 T20 World Cup Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report
Typically, the pitches at the Wankhede Stadium are perfect for T20 cricket. In the initial overs of an inning, light grass and sea-breeze from the neighbouring Arabian Sea allow the ball to move in the air, especially in the powerplay. However, once the ball and the pitch settle down, the batters enjoy batting on a track where the ball comes onto the bat. One of the most iconic stadiums in world cricket, the Wankhede will allow for a fair competition between the bat and the ball, with batters waking out a slight advantage on most occasions here. The square boundaries here are somewhere between 64 and 69m in length. Meanwhile, the straight boundaries go as far as 76m away from the batters.
