That the qualifier is at Mumbai Indians’ fortress, the iconic Wankhede Stadium, which is a huge boost for the hosts. The Mumbai side are well accustomed to their home conditions and hence will be confident as to what to expect on the day.

The pitch generally is a true surface which allows the stroke-makers to go all out. That is where Mumbai hold all the aces as they have batsmen who can go on and take the game by the scruff of its neck.

The bowlers know at what pace to bowl in order to curtail the run making and they work around with the angles which is a huge factor when fields are to be set according to the batsmen. A high scoring affair can be expected at Wankhede.
