This Sawai Mansingh Stadium pitch report draws on just 11 internationals in Jaipur, but they tell a clear story: the side batting second won 8 of them. Between Oct 2006 and Nov 2021 the ground hosted 10 men’s ODIs and 1 men’s T20I, and it has also staged 68 IPL games.
India have played 6 times here and won 5. The latest international, a T20I against New Zealand on 17 Nov 2021, was a 5-wicket India win.
Jaipur Pitch Report: A Ground for Chasing
Seven of the 10 ODIs here, and the lone T20I, went to the side batting second. Toss winners seem to know it: 7 of 11 chose to field.
Batting first, ODI sides have averaged 242; batting second, 230. India’s 362 heads the chasing list, and 231 is the lowest score anyone has held on to.
The average hides a wide range. Six of the ODIs were played in Oct and Nov 2006, during the Champions Trophy, and scores in that event were low. India dismissed England for 125 on 15 Oct 2006, still the lowest total at the ground. On 16 Oct 2013 Australia posted 359/5, and India finished on 362/1 after 43.3 overs to win by 9 wickets.
