KKR vs PBKS Pitch Report
Kolkata vs Punjab will be played at Wankhede Stadium on 1 April, this match is an afternoon match so there would be no dew factor, it means batting first or batting in the second inning will be not much matter. There would be the same pitch condition throughout the match.
The Pitch of Wankhede Stadium supports both batsman and bowler. Initially, in some overs, it helps bowlers, and in middle overs ball comes to the bat nicely. The record says, Batting first or Batting second is equally weighted because here, 92 domestic and International T20 matches have been played in which 42 matches have won by batting first team, and 50 matches have won by batting in second inning team. I don’t think there is any different condition for batting first and batting second for afternoon match, but yes dew is a major factor in day-night game for batting or bowling.
In IPL 2022, 2 matches have been played here and all 2 matches were won by the team who batted in the second inning. But remember all 2 matches were in the evening. The average first inning score at Wankhede in IPL 2022 is 144. The team that batted first is losing more wickets as compared to the team who batted in the second inning.
