The pitch at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Rajasthan has traditionally supported spin bowling. The ball might do a little bit for the fast bowlers in the initial stages of the match as well, but it will get easier to bat as the match progresses.
Rajasthan Royals will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 1st match of the doubleheader and the 60th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League. RR started their season brilliantly and have been consistent throughout the season. Yashasvi Jaiswal has done the bulk of the scoring for the team. Rajasthan’s bowling has been fantastic right from the get-go, Sandeep Sharma has been very impressive with the new ball, while Yuzvendra Chahal has been the pick of the spinner bowlers. Yashasvi Jaiswal will be the key in this fixture against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Jos Buttler is still due for a big one and the management will be hoping for him to come good in this important fixture.
On the other hand, The Royal Challengers Bangalore are placed in seventh place in the points table. They have ten points from seven games, winning five and losing six matches. RCB haven’t been consistent overall this season. The only concern for RCB is the middle and lower-order batting, they have hardly scored runs. Du Plessis, Virat Kohli and Glenn Maxwell are doing the bulk of run-scoring, while Mohammed Siraj has been a spearhead with the ball. Karn Sharma, Vyshak Vijaykumar, and Wanindu Hasaranga have made some handy contributions. Josh Hazlewood has looked out of form and it will be interesting to see if he gets another chance in this fixture.

The batters need to get their eye in before going for the aggressive shots, they can take advantage of the short boundaries at this venue. The team winning the toss would be inclined to bowl first at this venue and chase the score down in the second innings with some dew expected.
