Wankhede Pitch Shows Grass Cover Ahead of India-England T20 World Cup Semifinal

The Wankhede Stadium pitch for the India vs England T20 World Cup 2026 semifinal on March 5 is reported to have a noticeable grass cover, suggesting potential assistance for fast bowlers. The pitch, previously used in group matches, has supported spinners as games progressed but may be trimmed before the match to favor batting. India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir expressed concerns over the pitch conditions, while both teams prepare for a contest influenced by the surface and possible dew.
