The Wankhede Stadium pitch in Mumbai typically offers good pace and bounce early on, assisting fast bowlers with some seam movement, while spinners get significant grip and turn as the match progresses on a dry surface. In evening games under lights, dew often plays a major role in the second innings, making chasing considerably easier and strongly favoring the team batting second. Batters can play freely once set, and a first-innings total of around 170–195 is generally considered competitive at this venue in T20Is.
Expert Prediction: Nepal have 53% chance and Scotland have 47% winning chance.
