Batting PitchAvg 1st Innings: 170-180
Sawai Mansingh offers a good batting surface with even bounce. The pitch rewards stroke play and boundaries flow freely. Spinners can be effective in the middle overs.
Toss Advice
Bat first in the afternoon. The pitch plays well throughout and the afternoon heat can tire the chasing team.
