RR vs DC: Pitch Report

The Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur generally offers a good contest between bat and ball. The ball gets good bounce off the pitch early on and batters are able to play shots with confidence, especially during the power play. As the match goes on, batting becomes easier since the ball comes nicely onto the bat. In the middle and later overs, spinners can be effective with some turn. The average first innings score is around 175–185 runs.
