On Tuesday, Australia will take on Afghanistan in match 39 of the ODI World Cup at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. After two crushing defeats, the Aussies found their mojo back, securing thumping victories on five consecutive occasions. On the other hand, Afghanistan have performed admirably in the competition, defeating four sides, including the higher-ranked Pakistan, Sri Lanka and England. 

So, as the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai gets ready to host the contest, let's see how its pitch is expected to behave throughout the game. 


Wankhede Stadium Mumbai Pitch Report

The surface at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai will favour the batters and seamers throughout the match. While its pace and bounce will aid in stroke play, the pacers can get a hint of seam movement early on with the new ball. 

Although there won't be significant assistance for the spinners, the pacers will get a lot of help with the white cherry later in the evening. 

All the matches played at the venue have witnessed stellar success for teams batting first. The teams have generally preferred to bat first and later capitalise on the seam-friendly conditions under the lights. So, considering the recent track record, the toss-winning side will likely opt to bat first.
