Pitch Report
The Sawai Mansingh Stadium’s pitch is always slightly green, and the pacers have some movement in the first few overs of the game. The SMS stadium has one of the largest outfields in the world, which the spinners may use to their advantage during middle overs. Once the surface is in place, the batters will be able to play their strokes since the wicket has a proper bounce and the outfield is also pretty quick. Because it is tough to smash sixes at this venue, both teams’ hitters will concentrate on the boundaries, and the larger ground size will enable them to make some runs as well.

It looks like we are in store for a cracker of a contest between both sides who have performed immensely well till now. Both the teams have quality spin attacks for the pitch and it will be dependent on the batsmen to turn the game. Seeing the form and home advantage, it looks like Rajasthan Royals might end up winning this match.
