Wankhede Stadium is known for being a batting paradise. The surface stays pretty much the same for the entire 40 overs and with short boundaries, a lot of runs are on offer for the batters. The dew factor makes things a little easier for the chasing teams at this venue. In 109 IPL games at the Wankhede Stadium, teams batting first have won 50, while chasing teams have won 59. The average first-innings score is 169. Talking about the weather, there is no rain threat and fans can expect a full game on Monday.

Probable Best Players of the Match
Probable Best Batter:
Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 24 off 12 balls against Lucknow in the first game before getting out for 5 against Delhi. He has been in imperious touch in the lead-up to the IPL. Wankhede Stadium is the southpaw’s home ground when he plays for Mumbai in domestic cricket. He will know exactly what to expect from the surface. Last year, he smashed a 62-ball 124 against Mumbai Indians at this venue. He will be hoping to replicate his heroics once again this season.
Probable Best Bowler:
Trent Boult will be returning to his former IPL home where he had done quite well, especially with the new ball. In the 2020 season, he picked up 25 wickets in 15 matches at an economy rate of 7.97. The new ball does a bit under the lights at the Wankhede Stadium. He will look to make the best use of it and give Rajasthan some early wickets.
