IND vs USA, Wankhede Stadium Pitch Report
SL vs ENG 3rd T20 Match Pitch Report: Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium, the venue for the IND vs USA T20 World Cup 2026 match, is a high-scoring, batsman-friendly pitch that offers true bounce, short boundaries (65-70m), and a fast outfield, making it ideal for stroke play.
The pitch offers early swing and seam movement to fast bowlers with the new ball, while spinners get some grip as the pitch slows down slightly in the middle overs; dew under the lights makes chasing easier in the second innings. The average first-innings T20 score is around 170-180, with 200+ totals frequently being posted.
Teams chasing have a slight advantage, having won most recent night matches due to the dew; fast bowlers tend to take more wickets early on, while spinners come into the game later. Winning the toss and bowling first is often advantageous on this flat pitch.
