RR vs GT Pitch Report:
The pitch at Sawai Mansingh Stadium is generally well-balanced but leans slightly in favor of batters, especially in T20 matches. The surface offers good bounce and carry early on, allowing stroke-makers to play their shots freely during the powerplay, while scores in the range of 170–190 are quite common in recent games. As the match progresses, the pitch can slow down a bit and become slightly two-paced, bringing spinners and bowlers who rely on variations like cutters into play. Pacers may get some assistance early, but overall, it’s a surface where batters can dominate if they settle in. Teams often prefer chasing here, as conditions tend to remain manageable under lights, making it a competitive venue for both innings.

The weather at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur on May 9 at 7:30 PM is expected to be warm but suitable for cricket. The temperature will likely be around 30–32°C at the start of the match, gradually cooling as the evening progresses. Conditions should remain clear to partly cloudy, with almost no chance of rain, ensuring an uninterrupted game. Humidity levels may be moderate, making it feel slightly heavy early on, while a light breeze could offer minimal relief. Overall, it will be a typical dry Jaipur evening—hot at first but becoming more comfortable later, with conditions favoring a full match without weather interruptions.
Expected Scores:
1st Innings Expected Score: 175–195 runs2nd Innings Expected Score: 165–185 runsKey Notes:
The Jaipur pitch is usually batting-friendly, but not as flat as
some other venues, so totals around 180 are competitive.
Evening conditions will be hot and dry, with very little chance of dew — this slightly favors teams batting first.
The surface tends to slow down in the second innings, bringing spinners and variations into play.
Powerplay scoring will be crucial — teams that reach 50+ in the first 6 overs often set the tone here.
With both teams having strong top orders, expect a fast start, but middle overs could decide the final total.Rajasthan Royals vs Gujarat Titans Full Squad:
