The pitch at this stadium is typically hard and flat, providing good bounce to the ball. It is generally advantageous for the batsmen since the hard surface allows the ball to come onto the bat nicely.  Additionally, the boundaries at Sawai Mansingh Stadium are relatively small compared to other grounds, which facilitates more boundary hits for the batsmen. Although the pitch tends to favour the batsmen, there is something in it for the bowlers too. During afternoon matches, the ball can get some seam and swing movement early on. Moreover, the pitch is well-known for being spinner-friendly, particularly during the latter stages of the game.
