Pitch Report – DY Patil Stadium, Navi Mumbai
The DY Patil Stadium pitch offers true bounce and a fast outfield, allowing batters to play freely once settled. Shot-making becomes easier as the innings progress, especially on good-length deliveries. Fast bowlers can extract some early movement with the new ball, making the powerplay phase important. As the ball gets older, spinners tend to find assistance during the middle overs, often playing a key role on this surface.
In night matches, dew often becomes a major factor, easing batting conditions as the game progresses. The ball tends to skid onto the bat, making stroke play smoother in the second innings. This usually gives chasing teams a clear advantage under lights, which explains the Delhi Capitals’ decision to field first. For the Mumbai Indians, setting a competitive first-innings total will be crucial.
