Weather and Pitch Report

Jaipur's weather on the 13th of April 2025 should be warm and sunny, with evening temperatures of around 24-28°C, low humidity, and little rain threat, meaning a complete game. The Sawai Mansingh Stadium wicket is a balanced one, providing early bounce for batsmen but assisting spinners such as RR's Hasaranga and RCB's Krunal Pandya later, with dew being a possibility of making chasing an easier task, where 180-190 can prove to be a competitive score.

Match Preview

Rajasthan Royals are ready to defend their backyard in Jaipur, hoping that Yashasvi Jaiswal gets off to another good start and that Sanju Samson can build on that to get them to a big total against a strong RCB attack. Royal Challengers Bengaluru, coming off back-to-back wins for the first time, will hope that Rajat Patidar keeps up with their calm batting captaincy, Virat Kohli uses his experience, and Liam Livingstone brings the all-round game so they can outgun RR with aggressive batting behind Josh Hazlewood's early wicket-taking. The pitch suits running but also rewards astute bowling. RR's spinners can trouble RCB's middle order, while RCB's pace combination of Hazlewood, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and Yash Dayal tests RR's depth. Powerplay fireworks and middle-over chess will light up the Jaipur crowd with an action-packed encounter awaiting.
