Conditions at the Wankhede Stadium are under scrutiny heading into this fixture. The pitch has offered something to bowlers in the first two matches played here.
Both India and England had to apply themselves with the bat, and the shorter boundaries did not come into play significantly until Nepal’s innings, which was the fourth on the same surface used earlier for India versus USA.
England’s bowlers were tested in that match, especially in the later stages. West Indies, meanwhile, will assess how to balance aggression with control on a surface that has not been uniformly high-scoring. With two former champions on display and the group table tight, reading the conditions correctly could influence team strategies and the final outcome of this key clash.
