KOL vs RAJ, Match 47 Pitch Report:
The Wankhede pitch is an excellent scoring venue that also provides some assistance to bowlers. A similar pitch is expected this time. Both prior games were won by teams batting second, but five matches before that were won by teams batting second, so dew could be a factor, so batting second would be a wise decision at this venue.
