IND vs ENG: Pitch Report
The pitch at Wankhede Stadium is good for batting. The surface is flat and the boundaries are short, so batters can score runs easily. The ball comes nicely onto the bat, helping players play big shots. Fast bowlers might get some swing in the first few overs, but later the pitch becomes better for batting. If England bat first, they can score a big total.
