RR vs MI Pitch Report: The Sawai Mansingh Stadium is expected to be high scoring just like the last match. The pitch will be hard and there will be grass on it, which will make the ball come on the bat easily, especially in the beginning. Batsmen can play their shots freely, while bowlers will have to stick to a good line and length during the powerplay.
Dew is likely to play an important role in the second innings, making it difficult for bowlers to grip the ball. The special thing is that 39 out of 60 IPL matches have been won while chasing the target. Spinners may get some help if the pitch dries up, but it is expected to be a good batting deck with uneven bounce. The average first innings score has been around 169. The team winning the toss will want to bowl first.
Fast bowlers have clearly performed better in Jaipur, they have taken about 62% of the wickets. At the same time, spinners also played a role, especially in the middle overs, but fast bowlers dominated with the new ball and in the death overs.
Rajasthan Royals (RR) Possible Playing 11: 1. Yashasvi Jaiswal, 2. Vaibhav Suryavanshi, 3. Nitish Rana, 4. Riyan Parag(C), 5. Dhruv Jurel(WK), 6. Shimron Hetmyer, 7. Wanindu Hasaranga, 8. Yudhvir Singh Charak, 9. Jofra Archer, 10. Maheesh Theekshana, 11. Sandeep Sharma
