RR vs LSG, Match 26: Pitch Report - Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur
This will be the first match at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in IPL 2023. It will differ slightly from the flat batting tracks we have seen in the tournament. A more competitive wicket with more help for players of all trades might be expected. A close fight between the bat and the ball is on the cards. Most of the matches here have been won by the team batting second, so that will be playing in the minds of the captains during the toss.
