As is customary for April night matches at the Wankhede Stadium, dew is anticipated to play a significant role in the match's progression. Heavy condensation on the outfield is expected from the midpoint of the game onwards, making it challenging for bowlers to grip the ball during the second innings. This historical trend heavily favours the team chasing a total, meaning the coin toss will be a vital strategic moment for both captains.
