RR vs RCB Pitch Report For IPL 2023 Match At Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur

The 60th league match of Indian Premier League 2023 will be played between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore at Jaipur’s Sawai Mansingh Stadium. This is a very important game for both sides in the race for playoffs.

The Royals won their last match against Kolkata Knight Riders and they would want to continue their good form. They have lost three of their four matches at home which is certainly concerning. Rajasthan would aim to end their home leg with a win in this game. A defeat here will hit their playoff hopes really hard.

Royal Challengers Bangalore’s form has not been great and they will have to win this game. The over-reliance on the batting trio of Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis and Glenn Maxwell is a major thing of worry for RCB. Even the bowlers have not been able to fulfill their potential.

RR vs RCB Pitch Report

A total of four matches have been played so far this season at the SMS Stadium. Two matches have been low-scoring, whereas two games have been really good for the batters. It is an excellent surface where there is help for both batters and the bowlers. There is a good amount of bounce on the wicket and the pacers will get some movement in the initial overs.

The average first-innings score has been 175 runs which indicates that it is a competitive wicket. Out of four, two matches have been won by the chasing teams and two by the teams batting first. The boundaries are big on this ground and yet again the spinners will play a crucial role. Gujarat Titans’ spin duo of Rashid Khan and Noor Ahmad dismantled Rajasthan’s batting in one of the games.

Jaipur is getting warmer day by day, and the dew factor can play a big part in the second innings. The outfield is quite quick here and this will go in the batter’s favour. Both captains may opt to bowl after winning the toss. Anything above 175 runs will be a good score on this surface.
