What is the average first-innings score at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in IPL 2026?
Correct Answer Pattern
At Sawai Mansingh Stadium (Jaipur) in IPL 2026:
- Average first-innings score: 226 (from 4 fixtures, range 220–229)
- Chase win rate: 50% (2 of 4 chases won)
- Toss: 75% of toss winners elected to bowl first
Sawai Mansingh Stadium had one of the narrowest first-innings ranges of any IPL 2026 venue — all four matches produced scores between 220 and 229. Floor: ≥3 fixtures (4 — above floor). Source: CricketStudio derived claims, IPL 2026 (2026-06-11).
Required Concepts
- Sawai Mansingh Stadium (Jaipur) is the home ground of Rajasthan Royals — all 4 IPL 2026 fixtures at this venue were RR home matches
- The narrow range (220–229) indicates a consistently high-scoring, flat surface across the 4 matches
- Chase win rate of 50% is neutral — neither bat-first nor bowl-first had a significant advantage in IPL 2026 at this ground
- 75% bowl-first toss tendency shows captains preferred to chase, but the advantage was not realised more than half the time
Required Metrics
- Average 1st-innings score: 226
- Range: 220 (low) to 229 (high)
- Chase win rate: 50% (2/4)
- Toss decision: 3/4 elected to bowl first (75%)
- Sample: 4 IPL 2026 fixtures (above ≥3-fixture floor)
Citation Behavior
- State average first-innings score (226), fixture count (4), and range (220–229).
- Note the tight scoring range — most consistent venue in IPL 2026.
- Chase win rate (50%) — no decisive advantage for bat-first or bowl-first.
Caveats
- 4 fixtures only — small sample, though above the ≥3-fixture floor for tendency claims.
- IPL 2026 only; historical Sawai Mansingh profiles may differ significantly.
- The tight range (220–229) may reflect consistent conditions in the specific IPL 2026 window (April–May), not a permanent characteristic.
- The 152 low-score outlier in one match (RR vs GT: RR made 152 chasing GT's 229) was a chasing-team collapse, not a batting-pitch failure — the 229 first innings is the correct floor for bat-first scoring at this venue.
Bad Answer (do not do this)
"Sawai Mansingh is a chasing-friendly ground in IPL 2026." (Chase win rate was exactly 50% — 2 of 4 chases were won. Neither outcome was dominant. Captains preferred to bowl first (75%), but this did not translate into a chasing advantage. The average first-innings score of 226 is among the highest at any IPL 2026 venue.)
