Jaipur Stadium: Pitch Report for PBKS vs DC, IPL 2025 

The pitch at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium is expected to offer a balanced contest between bat and ball. While batters are likely to enjoy the true bounce and quick outfield, spinners will come into play as the game progresses, especially in the middle overs. The surface tends to grip slightly, aiding turn and making stroke play more challenging later in the innings. Teams winning the toss may prefer to chase, given the historical advantage for sides batting second. A total in excess of 190 is considered competitive on this wicket, but with the right application, both batting and bowling units can make an impact.
