If we talk about head to head here, on one hand Mumbai team is ahead. Out of 32 matches played so far, Mumbai has won 23 matches. Whereas, Kolkata has got success in 9 matches. Kolkata have won three of their last five matches against Mumbai, but have only won two of their 11 matches at the Wankhede Stadium. The last match between the two teams took place in the year 2023, in which Mumbai won by 5 wickets.

If we talk about the pitch here, fast bowlers can get a little seam movement on the pitch of Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. This means that the pacers may get some help in the beginning. However, the short pitch helps the batsmen to score more runs. The pitch here is good and the runs are also good. There is also bounce and the ball hits the bat well. That means once again a big score can be seen here. The average score for the first time here is 170. Mumbai's last match here was against Chennai where Chennai had scored 206 runs.
