PBKS vs MI, Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, Pitch Report

The Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur has been known for its batting-friendly conditions, but in IPL 2025, it has shown a more balanced nature, assisting both batters and bowlers. While the surface allows batters to settle and accelerate as the innings progresses, spinners have found considerable turn and grip, making the middle overs crucial for the bowling teams. The short boundaries provide opportunities for aggressive stroke play, allowing for high-scoring matches.

However, dew in the second innings could make bowling trickier, giving the chasing side an advantage. With these conditions in mind, teams winning the toss may prefer to bowl first, ensuring they have a better grip on the game during the latter stages. A target of 180+ is expected to be competitive on this surface, given the nature of the pitch. This clash between the Punjab Kings and Mumbai Indians promises to be an exciting battle, with both teams looking to capitalize on the conditions.
