In an exciting clash, Rajasthan Royals will lock horns with Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 60th group-stage fixture of the ongoing Indian Premier League season. As both teams will play their heart out to secure a win and keep their playoff hopes alive, we expect a cracking contest at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. As the venue gears up for the game, let's see what the pitch report says.
Sawai Mansingh Stadium pitch report
The pitch at the centre of the ground will be used for this game. The surface at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur has traditionally been a paradise for the batters. The pace and bounce remains even and favours stroke play. While the seam movement will be minimal, spinners will find decent help off the surface throughout the game.
Statistically, batters score almost 28 runs per wicket at an impressive rate of 8.02 runs per over. These numbers suggest the batting-friendly nature of the surface; so, we might see a high-scoring face-off between two formidable outfits today.
Historically, Jaipur has been a happy-hunting ground for the chasing teams, as the track doesn't slow down with time. However, as it's an afternoon game, it might get drier and could offer significant assistance to the spinners as the game progresses.
Therefore, although there is higher probability that any team would like to chase at the ground, we shouldn't be surprised if the toss-winning team takes a bold call of batting first and unleashing its spinners on the opposition in the second half.
