Rajasthan met Kolkata in their last match, where Kolkata was batting first, and they had a good day with the bat. Russell looked back in his usual great touch and scored a fifty, which took the team to a total of 206. Rajasthan lost too many early wickets, and the match felt done, but it took a skipper’s knock to pull them back in the game. However, they lost by a bare margin of 1 run in the end.
When Lucknow and Punjab faced each other, Punjab, batting first, amassed another outstanding score thanks to a brilliant knock from Prabhsimran Singh. Other hitters also made key contributions. The bowlers took early wickets and were effective from the beginning. Even though Badoni and Samad performed admirably, they lost by 37 runs because the total was too high.
The Sawai Mansingh Stadium field provides a fair game of bat and ball. Due to increased scoreboard pressure in the second innings, the spinners are in the game during the middle overs because of the long mid-wicket boundaries. The surface guarantees a competitive game all the way through with an average of 28.38 runs per wicket and a strike rate of 20.93.
AccuWeather predicts that Jaipur's Stadium will be hot, approximately 42°C during the day and 31°C at night. Meanwhile, the wind will blow from the west at a range of 19 to 20 km/h with gusts of 30 to 41 km/h. With 27% humidity during the day, there are no predictions of precipitation or thunderstorms. As a result, players will encounter extremely hot conditions at the stadium, making it tough for them.
