Sawai Mansingh Stadium Pitch Report

The Sawai Mansingh Stadium is likely to be a high-scoring one, just like the previous match played here. The pitch will be hard with a good grass covering, allowing the ball to come on nicely to the bat, especially early on. Batters can play their shots freely, while bowlers will need to stick to good lines and lengths during the powerplay. Dew is likely to play a significant role in the second innings, making it tougher for bowlers to grip the ball. Notably, 39 out of 60 IPL games have been won while chasing. Spinners might find some help as the pitch dries up, but it is expected to be a decent batting deck with an uneven bounce.
