MI vs DC LIVE Score, IPL 2025: Pitch report by Mpumelelo Mbangwa and Matthew Hayden

"We love the Wankhede. What we love about today also is that the sun is out because I planned to kinda go on "Rain, rain go away, come back another day," because everybody's been talking about the fact there would be rain. It's a good thing there isn't. Let's have a look at the dimensions for today, we are just about in the middle. Square - 62m and 63m, so not much difference there and 72m straight. What about the 22 yards? Thank you sun, it's lovely and as we look, it's really baked this wicket out as well. You could be actually thinking there's not a lot of grass on this, there's some patches here but it's actually the grass is very well rolled into it. A slightly different colour (on a fuller length) versus in here (good length), this to me looks like the groundsman has topped it up with a little bit of extra moisture to hold it all together. I suspect that the off-pace deliveries especially from the seamers are going to be a little tricky. If you lose the toss, you'll probably be having to put the bat in the hand and you got to get 200, simple as that. But you want to chase because there's been four out of the six games that have been won chasing. Expect a bit of dew this evening because it's very humid."
