AUS vs AFG: Pitch Report

The stadium's location near the Arabian Sea provides favourable conditions for swing bowlers, giving them an edge over spinners. Typically, the average first-inning score in ODIs at Wankhede hovers around 243 runs, indicating that the toss-winning captain might opt to bowl first to capitalise on the favourable pitch conditions.
