Pitch report:
Batting first and defending totals of 193 and 185, the Royals have won their first two home games thus far. Though the Sawai Mansingh Stadium isn't strictly a bat-first ground, the vast outfield and relative lack of dew do seem to even things up for the side bowling second. The chasing team had a strong opportunity in the match.
