RR vs RCB Weather & Pitch Report

The weather at Sawai Mansingh Stadium for the 36th match of the IPL 2025 between RR and LSG appears ideal for cricket. Clear skies are expected, with a hot and humid temperature of around 39°C. Fortunately, rain is not predicted to interrupt the match. This pitch is known as bat-friendly throughout the game. Batters are favored in both innings. It is a completely flat pitch with plenty of runs and little assistance for bowlers.

According to the pitch's overall statistics, teams that bat first have scored an average of 160 runs. So, given this pitch, it is best to field first and chase the target in the second inning, restricting the opponent to the chasable target. As there is the possibility of dew in the second inning. Previous records indicate that the team that batted second performed better at this venue.

Record of chasing teams at Sawai Mansingh Stadium

According to previous IPL statistics, this venue has hosted 58 IPL games. Of those, the team that fielded first won 38 matches, contributing almost 64%, while the team that batted first won 20. This clearly showed that, if the toss was won, fielding first could be a viable option at this ground.

RR vs LSG: RR to win the toss and choose to field first

We expect Rajasthan Royals captain, Sanju Samson, to win the toss and choose to field first because they will play their second match at their original home ground, so our prediction is that the home crowd will support them and toss luck will favor them as they will aim to chase target with their power-packed batting lineup in the second inning.

RR vs LSG Dream11 Prediction Today (Match No. 36) IPL 2025

Players to Avoid

Vaibhav Suryavanshi is just a 13-year-old left-handed middle-order batter when RR management finds him and picks him for their squad. But as a 13-year player, he will merely get the chance in the next match against the quality bowling lineup of LSG. Although Vaibhav is a very talented batter, he will mostly not get a place in the playing XI of the RR.

Aryan Juyal is also LSG's third-choice wicketkeeper, following Matthew Breetzke and Rishabh Pant. Given this, he is unlikely to be included in LSG's starting XI for their third game.
