After a commanding win over Gujarat Titans in their last game, the rejuvenated Rajasthan Royals are all set to host 5-time IPL champions Mumbai Indians in match 50 of the Tata IPL 2025. Royals registered their first home win of the season in their previous fixture against Gujarat Titans, and now will be hosting a team that is upbeat with 5 wins on the trot against their name.
Mumbai Indians are close to securing a playoff berth. Having played 10 matches, they have won 6, lost 4, and have 12 points to their name. A win here will take them to 14 points and almost assure a spot in the playoffs. Hardik Pandya and co look well oiled for their 6th win on the trot.
After the carnage and onslaught we witnessed from a 14-year-old ‘Boss Baby,’ Vaibhav Suryavanshi, in the game against Gujarat Titans, the Royals have infused new life in their campaign. Their playoff qualification still isn’t simple, but they have definitely given themselves a glimmer of hope for their remaining games. Expect an exciting battle between the two sides at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Thursday evening.

The pitch report for IPL 2025 Match 50 at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur suggests a surface that offers a balanced contest between bat and ball. The pitch generally provides good pace and bounce early on, allowing batters to play their shots freely. However, as the match progresses, spinners tend to come into play, with the dry conditions assisting turn. The large square boundaries make it challenging for batters to clear the ropes consistently, meaning well-placed shots and strike rotation will be crucial. A par score at this venue is expected to be around 175-190, making the toss an important factor in determining match strategies.
