RR vs GT Pitch Report
The pitch at Jaipur has proven to be balanced for both batting and bowling in the current season. Across the three matches held at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium so far, teams have consistently scored over 180 runs each match. In one instance, the chasing team successfully achieved the target, while the Royals defended scores of 185 and 193 runs on two occasions.
The captain who wins the toss should choose to bowl first, as it would be better to chase on this surface. The dew will also play a role, making the chase easier. Stats also suggest that the team that has batted second has won more times than the team batting first. In 55 matches at the stadium, 20 matches were won by the team batting first, while 35 were won by the team chasing.
