Is Sawai Mansingh Stadium's Pitch batting or bowling friendly?

The surface at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur has mostly favoured the batters in IPL 2025, as evidenced by the average scoring rate of 9.96 in five matches at this venue. 

The fast bowlers might not get significant lateral movement, while the top-order batters will likely capitalise on the even pace, bounce and field restrictions in the powerplay. 

If it's a dry surface, the spinners could get some turn in the middle overs. However, the batters are expected to dominate a majority portion of the game. 

As teams setting the target have won three out of five IPL 2025 matches in Jaipur, the toss-winner will likely bat first.
