### Pitch Report

The Sawai Mansingh Stadium surface is a balanced pitch offering something for both pacers (55%) and spinners (45%), with large straight boundaries. Spinners typically gain grip in the middle overs, while pacers can get movement early. Batting first with 165+ is generally a safe target here.

### Match Prediction

GT look like the stronger side in current form. Rashid Khan’s spin on a Jaipur pitch and Holder’s explosive bowling make them dangerous. However, RR at home — with Suryavanshi and Jaiswal at the top — can flip the script on any given night.
