The Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur is all set to host match no 60 of Tata IPL 2023 on Sunday’s afternoon. The hosts Rajasthan Royals who are pushing their case strongly to grab a spot in the playoffs will be taking on Royal Challengers Bangalore. How will the pitch behave in this fixture? Let’s discuss.
In the four games played here so far, we have witnessed two low scoring and two high scoring matches. 200 has been scored twice in the first innings this year which is something different given the fact that 200 wasn’t witnessed on this ground since the inception of IPL in 2008. With this being a day game, expect a first innings score in excess of 180, but the wicket will suit spinners for sure. Check out the IPL numbers at Sawai Mansingh Stadium.

The Royal Challengers Bangalore and Rajasthan Royals have squared off against one another 29 times in IPL history. RCB have a slight edge against their counterparts having won 14 games, whereas RR have won 2 and 3 matches ended in a no-result.
It is tough to predict the surface at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur as we the surface has assisted the bowlers at times and has also helped the batters to score freely. With this game to be played in the afternoon, expect the pitch to grip a bit as the match goes. The team winning the toss should look to bat first as it would be the only time when the surface will be good for batting. Therefore, bat first and put as many as possible on the scoreboard.
