Dew is going to play a significant role as it will be a night game. With the temperature dropping from 35 degrees Celsius at 7 pm IST, when the match starts, to 30 degrees Celsius by 11 pm IST, the dew will be in considerable amount and influence the captain's decision at the toss.

 

A captain winning the toss would likely opt to field first, trying to capitalise on both the advantages of a dry wicket for bowling in the first innings and dewy conditions for batting in the second.

RR vs DC LIVE Updates, IPL 2024: How has the Jaipur pitch behaved so far?

 

The pitch at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium is known to favour the chasing side. Though Rajasthan managed to win by setting the target in their first match, in 53 games to date, 34 have been won by teams batting first.

 

When it comes to winning the toss and the match, the ratio is 28:25. Interestingly, there has not been a single game that ended in a no-result at this venue. The average first innings score is 160, which suggests that it is not a high-scoring venue.

 

Even the first match of IPL 2024 at this venue saw moving cracks on the pitch and spinners getting help. Delhi, however, would take inspiration from the fact that they successfully chased 193 against the same opposition in 2019.
