Pitch report
The team that wins the toss will prefer to go first in the chase. As long as teams are concerned with dew, this has been the favoured method. However, two of the last four matches at the DY Patil Stadium have been won by the team batting first and two by the team chasing.
In terms of weather, Mumbai's conditions are unlikely to change significantly. Thankfully, the same appears to be true thus far with the pitches. The batters have had plenty of bounce and pace to work with, enabling for exciting strike-play and high-scoring encounters.
