RR vs DC Pitch Report Sawai Mansingh Stadium

In the first match at this venue, we saw the pitch helping both batters and bowlers. It was one and only afternoon game at this ground this season. The upcoming match will take place in the evening and we can expect the pitch to assist the team batting first and then help the spinners in the second innings as the pitch gets worn out.

Fast bowlers are also able to pick wickets with the new ball as some prominent swing was seen in the initial overs in the first match here.

The average innings score is around 165 and the par score will be more than 190.

The toss winner is likely to bat first as the first match was won by the team batting first and in the IPL 2023, the first 2 fixtures at this venue were also won by the team batting first.
