T20 Mumbai Cricket Format

Cricket T20 Mumbai Stadiums
Most of the matches in the T20 Mumbai League are held at these five stadiums: Wankhede Stadium, Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) Ground, Mumbai University Ground, Dadoji Kondadev Stadium, and Azad Maidan.
- Wankhede Stadium
This international-level stadium is located in South Mumbai (home stadium of the MI team), near the ocean, and can hold around 33,000 spectators. It’s easily accessible and hosted the 2011 Cricket World Cup final.
- Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) Ground
This cricket ground is located near the Mumbai city center, in the Bandra-Kurla Commercial Complex, close to the financial district. The facilities are modern and well-equipped, with high-quality turf, making it a popular venue for various domestic T20 leagues and training sessions.
- Mumbai University Ground
Located within the Mumbai University campus, this ground hosts local T20 events (T20 Mumbai) and university cricket leagues. It is ideal for smaller matches and practice games, with a capacity of around 1,000-2,000 spectators. The pitch conditions are generally more favorable to batsmen.
- Dadoji Kondadev Stadium（in Thane）
This venue has standard pitch dimensions, but its shorter boundaries make it ideal for big hitting, offering versatility for various sports. However, its drainage system isn’t as advanced as those in larger stadiums. It is occasionally used for state-level matches, as well as T20 Mumbai and U-19/U-23 games .
- Azad Maidan
One of Mumbai’s most famous cricket training grounds, it features dozens of smaller pitches. Although it’s not a professional-level stadium, it is frequently used for local Mumbai cricket matches and T20 qualifiers. Due to its heavy usage, the pitch condition is not always ideal, with more dust being kicked up, but the conditions are more favorable for spin bowlers.
