The Mumbai Cricket Association’s (MCA) iconic Wankhede Stadium has always enjoyed support from passionate cricket-loving crowds, whether it’s during a Test match, an ODI or a T20I. Even during a bilateral series, both fans and players relished the atmosphere and the red-soil pitch. The latest international played here was the India vs England T20 World Cup semi-final that witnessed a full house.

However, the upcoming 2026-27 home season calendar, where Team India will be separately hosting four countries (West Indies, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe and Australia) across a total of 22 matches (see fixtures table), Mumbai’s enthusiastic fans will only have one match at their favourite venue. The BCCI have allotted the final game of the three-match ODI series between India and Zimbabwe, on January 9 next year.
