Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur: Pitch report
The venue is known to offer a balanced surface for both batters and bowlers.
The long mid-wicket boundaries mean the spinners are in the contest during the middle overs, especially in the second innings, due to added scoreboard pressure.
However, it is worth noting that Jaipur was ranked eighth out of 12 venues in IPL 2024 for batting strike rate. On the other hand, it was ranked last for bowling strike rate (wickets per ball).
Strike rotation and timing the ball becomes crucial at this venue but batters can target the square boundaries to their advantage. Additionally, the venue has relatively less dew compared to the others (applicable for night games).
