Pitch

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. 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.
