Pitch and Conditions
The Sawai Mansingh Stadium pitch is expected to favor batsmen, with a hard surface and good grass cover allowing the ball to come onto the bat smoothly. However, bowlers who maintain tight lines and lengths can find success, especially during the powerplay overs. Dew may play a role in the second innings, potentially aiding the chasing team.
