Pitch and Weather Report

The Sawai Mansingh Stadium has transitioned into a high-scoring venue in 2026, with totals exceeding 200 becoming a regular occurrence. While the pitch offers a fair balance, it historically favours pace bowlers who can utilise the evening breeze.

Temperatures in Jaipur are expected to hover between 36°C and 40°C at the start of play, making the conditions physically demanding for the fielding side. Humidity remains low at approximately 14 percent, ensuring the ball travels quickly through the air.
