Pitch report: RR vs MI IPL2024: What will the playing surface be like for Match 38 at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur?

Table-setters The 38th game of the Indian Premier League 2024 would see the five-time champion Mumbai Indians against the Rajasthan Royals. The Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur, which is emerging as the Royals’ stronghold this season, will host the match between the two sides.

Three of the four games the Royals have played here have been victories. The only time they have lost at the Jaipur site was when the Gujarat Titans defeated them in the last minute thanks to some heroics from Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan. With six victories in their last seven games, RR is the team to beat this season. They are just outside of making the playoffs.

MI, on the other hand, has won three of their last seven games but has been inconsistent. They lost their first three games of the season, then won the next two, lost the following one, and finally won their seventh. The previous time these two teams faced one another, RR easily defeated Hardik Pandya’s team by 6 wickets.
