As Rajasthan Royals (RR) get set to play Gujarat Titans (GT) in Match 47 of the IPL 2025 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, the weather conditions are likely to be dry and clear for the entire match. Rain is not expected to show up, allowing for an unbroken contest. Mercury will reach its boiling point at a 42 degrees Celsius in the day, falling to a more comfortable 25 degrees Celsius in the evening. The temperatures may contribute towards player exhaustion, particularly for the teams batting first.
RR Vs GT: Pitch Report
The Sawai Mansingh Stadium surface has historically presented a level-headed contest between bat and ball. Unlike many other IPL grounds, the pitch here does not routinely churn out high-scoring thrillers. Rather, scores in the 170-180 bracket have been competitive. The pitch is generally on the slower side, with very little bounce, and stroke play can be a little tricky, especially in the middle overs. Spinners tend to be in operation here, employing the slow nature of the wicket.
A distinguishing characteristic of the stadium is the wide square boundaries. These longer boundaries tend to make it challenging for batters to reach the ropes, promoting chances of catches in the deep and benefiting teams that use disciplined bowling and effective fielding.
RR Vs GT: Toss Strategy
Winning the toss may prove to be vital. With the dry conditions and the character of the pitch, captains may want to bat first. Piling on a score of around 170-180 may be very competitive here, particularly with the pitch getting slower as the match wears on. The Jaipur conditions are prone to favoring the defensive teams, and dew would not come into play a great extent in the evening as there is dry heat, upholding the policy of scoring runs on the board at an early stage and later pressurizing the scoreboard.
