In Mumbai, major cricket matches are primarily held at two prominent venues:
- Wankhede Stadium: A major stadium that hosts significant cricket matches.1
- Brabourne Stadium: This venue serves as the headquarters and main pitch for the Cricket Club of India.1
Additionally, cricket is played throughout the city on open fields known as maidans. In South Mumbai, the Azad, Cross, and Oval maidans are particularly notable, as their large size allows them to host dozens of overlapping matches simultaneously.2
