Pitch Report:
The Sawai Mansingh Stadium is a favourable venue for batters. Last year in the IPL, five matches had been played at this stadium. Three games were won by teams batting first, while chasing teams won twice. The average first-innings score was 172. One of the best games of the season was played at this venue on May 7 between Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad. The visitors chased down a 215-run target as Abdul Samad hit a six off the final delivery. The size of the boundaries are decent and that is one thing that will comfort the bowlers.
