pitch report

The pitch of Sawai Man Singh Stadium helps the batsmen. However, the range here is very long. The Jaipur pitch has added bounce and seam movement early on with the new ball. However, as the game progresses the batsmen will start getting help. The ball will come well onto the bat, while fast bowlers will rely on variation to be successful in this situation. Here the spinners get a little turn, which can trouble the batsmen. Teams chasing the target have been more successful in Jaipur. The team winning the toss on this ground can decide to bowl first.
