Sawai Mansingh Stadium Pitch Report
Historically, the pitch at Sawai Mansingh Stadium has offered a balanced contest between bat and ball. However, as the game progresses, it tends to favor the batting side under lights. In fact, out of the 57 IPL matches played here, 37 have been won by teams chasing, which is a whopping 65% win rate for teams batting second.
This clearly indicates that dew plays a crucial role during the second innings, making it easier for batters to play their shots as the pitch eases out and the ball comes on nicely. So, expect a run-fest in Jaipur if the chasing team gets off to a good start. Bowlers will need to be sharp in the powerplay and utilize the new ball effectively, as things could get tough later in the innings.
RR vs RCB Head-to-Head Record
When it comes to their head-to-head rivalry, RR and RCB have shared a closely contested history in the IPL. Out of the 31 matches played between the two sides:
-
RCB has won 15 matches
-
RR has clinched 14 victories
-
2 matches ended with no result
This close contest only adds more spice to their upcoming battle. With both teams evenly matched in terms of past results, this game promises to be a nail-biter.
