Official pitch report of the Sawai Man Singh Stadium for the RR vs RCB IPL 2024 match

 

Deep Dasgupta in his official pitch report said, "This has been a 180-kind of a surface. A big venue though. 69m and 63m square boundaries and 76m down the ground. It's a hard surface with a bit of grass cover on it. It looks well-prepared. You'll get high-scoring games at this venue and the batters will relish batting here. Something in it for the fast bowlers as they'll get some extra bounce with the new ball. The spinners will get some turn as well. It looks a bit patchy with a few dry areas. The big boundaries are an encouraging sign for the spinners. Win the toss, bat first."
