Tonight, Rajasthan Royals will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in a highly-anticipated face-off in their backyard. 

Talking about Rajasthan Royals, the Sanju Samson-led outfit has had a topsy-turvy IPL 2023 campaign. After getting a dream start to the tournament, the Royals failed to sustain the momentum, incurring four defeats in their last five fixtures.

On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad have been abysmal, to say the least, in the IPL 2023. Despite having a formidable squad on paper, Aiden Markram and co. have disappointed the passionate Hyderabad fans, reeling at the bottom of the points table with only three wins in nine appearances.

As Jaipur's Sawai Mansingh stadium gears up to host the encounter, let's see what numbers say about the iconic venue.


Sawai Mansingh Stadium IPL Records & Ground Stats

The Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur has hosted 50 IPL matches, with the first-ever game played between Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings back in April 2008. 

The venue has been a happy-hunting ground for the chasing sides, who have emerged victorious on 33 occasions as opposed to 17 by those batting first. 

Toss plays a crucial role here, as toss-winners have won more than half of the overall matches played. The highest-ever team total scored at the venue is 202/5 by the Royals against CSK, while the lowest-ever team total of 92 is recorded by Mumbai Indians against the home side.

The average scoring rate at the venue reads 7.96, indicating the track's conduciveness for batting.

As the surface remains good to bat on throughout the day, the toss-winning team will likely field first.
