The Wankhede Stadium pitch in Mumbai generally favors batters due to its flat surface, quick outfield, and shorter boundaries. Fast bowlers may get some movement early with the new ball, while dew is expected to play a major role during the second innings, often helping the chasing side. A first-innings total of around 190–210 is considered competitive at this venue.

Expert Prediction: Mumbai Indians have 53% chance and Rajasthan Royals have 47% winning chance.
