IPL 2025: Sawai Mansingh Stadium Pitch Report & Stats Ahead of RR vs MI Match

Rajasthan Royals (RR) will face Mumbai Indians (MI) in Match 50 of the IPL 2025 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on May 1. With the tournament entering a crucial phase, both teams will be aiming to consolidate their positions on the points table in what promises to be a high-stakes contest under the lights.

Historically, the Jaipur surface has produced moderately paced games, with chasing sides having a distinct edge — 39 out of the 60 games have been won by the team batting second. The average first innings score at the venue stands at 165, but scores in the 180-200 range are becoming increasingly common this season. Despite that, even 200-plus totals have proven insufficient to guarantee a win, indicating how good the batting conditions can be under lights.

As Trent Boult noted, the pitch is unlikely to offer any swing, spin, or bounce, making it a flat surface that rewards strokeplay. In such conditions, teams will be looking to stack their lineups with power-hitters and aim for 190 or more if they bat first. Given the chasing bias, the toss could play a decisive role in how the match unfolds.

While Mumbai Indians possess the firepower to take any attack apart, Rajasthan Royals will be more familiar with the nuances of this venue. However, with no significant assistance for bowlers, the team with better batting depth and execution — likely Mumbai Indians — could hold a slight advantage in this evening showdown.
