Rajasthan Royals lost three matches in a row but they bounced back strongly and won their very important match against Kolkata Knight Riders with a handsome margin of nine wickets. Earlier, they lost their match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Jose Buttler are opening the batting order of this team and they were just superb in the previous match. The skipper, Sanju Samson also had an outstanding performance with the bat and put some runs on the board.

The 60th match of IPL T20, 2023 is going to be held at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. This venue is known for being a relatively flat pitch that generally favors batsmen. This means that the ball tends to come onto the bat nicely, allowing for good stroke play and potentially high-scoring matches. However, the pitch can also offer some assistance to spin bowlers as the match progresses and the pitch starts to wear.

The weather forecast for Jaipur is good for this cricket match. There are some chances of rain but we are expecting a full match.
