RR vs DC Pitch Report and Prediction: Important Role of Stadium and Pitching –
The pitch of the Sawai Mansing Stadium is considered to be favorable for the team chasing the target. Although Rajasthan managed to win their first game by a target, 34 of their 53 matches so far have been won by teams batting first. When it comes to losing and winning the match, the ratio is 28:25. It is surprising that not a single game has ended without a score in this place. The average score in the first innings is 160, which suggests that it is not a high-scoring position.
RR vs DC Pitch Report and Forecast: Weather Forecast –
Dew will play a vital role as it will be a night game. The temperature will drop from 35°C when the match starts at 11:00 am to 30°C and will affect the captain’s decision to toss. The captain who wins the tournament is more likely to choose to field first, which will try to bowl a dry wicket in both the first innings and dewy conditions in the second innings.
RR vs DC Pitch Report:
Talking about the pitch of Sawai Mansing Stadium, the pitch of Sawai Mansing Stadium was a bit dry during the previous match between RR and LSG. It was a rough and dry track that did not offer any lateral movement for the fast bowlers. The ball was the same for most of the match but the ball was low at times. However, as it is a night game, the away game is expected to be better which will help the fans of both sides a lot.
As in the case of Jaipur, the cones get enough support, the ball is expected to go off the board. Overall, this will be a good sports wicket, but what it offers for the batsmen and bowlers. The team fight first won the last game at this place. However, given that the track is highly variable during night play, whoever wins the loss can go the safe route and opt to bowl.
