Sawai Mansingh Stadium pitch report:
The surface at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur is one that is preferred by the batters. A high-scoring clash could be on the cards in the game; however, as the game progresses, spinners can get some help from the surface. Opting to bat first after winning the toss could prove to be a wise decision.ย
