RR vs LSG Team Previews

Rajasthan Royals

The Rajasthan Royals will be disappointed with the way they played in the last match. At one stage, they were cruising along against Delhi and looked on track to score an easy win. However, some sloppy batting towards the end meant that the match went to a Super Over, where they lost. As a result, the team remains in the 8th place on the points table.

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson once again gave the team a strong start and they will look to do the same in this match as well. Jaiswal scored his 3rd half-century of the season and is now the leading run-scorer for his team.

Sanju Samson had to retire due to a niggle but should be fit for this match. Nitish Rana has played a couple of handy knocks and remains a key batsman in the middle order along with Shimron Hetmeyer, Dhruv Jurel, and Riyan Parag.

The two spinners, Wanindu Hasaranga and Maheesh Theekshana have bowled well to pick up 7 wickets each and will hold the key during the middle overs. Jofra Archer, Sandeep Sharma, and Tushar Deshpande have been a bit expensive and need to bowl a better line and length.

Lucknow Super Giants

The Lucknow Super Giants have played some good cricket this year. However, they are coming into this contest on the back of a loss against Chennai Super Kings and will be hoping to turn things around.

The top order suffered a rare failure for the Lucknow Super Giants as both, Nicholas Pooran and Aiden Markram fell for single-digit scores. Nevertheless, Pooran remains the leading run-scorer of the season and LSG will want him to play a big knock. Mitchell Marsh has made some good contributions with the bat and will once again be seen in the opening slot.

Despite the loss, LSG fans will be glad that Rishabh Pant got some runs under his belt and scored his first half-century of this season. He will be in the middle order along with Ayush Badoni, Abdul Samad, and David Miller. Coming to the bowling, Shardul Thakur has been brilliant, picking up 11 wickets, and is among the top 3 wicket-takers of the tournament.

However, he will need better support from Akash Deep and Avesh Khan. Digvesh Rathi and Ravi Bishnoi make up a formidable spin duo and have picked up 17 wickets between them.

RR vs LSG Toss Prediction

6 of the last 10 matches played here were won while chasing. In 6 of those matches, the skipper winning the toss opted to bat first. However, we feel that fielding first might be a better option

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The pitch in Jaipur is usually good to bat on. The track has some dry grass which keeps the surface together and offers good pace and bounce. The batsmen will find it easy to play their shots once they settle down. The spinners may get some turn as the ball gets older. The average first-inning score here is around 162 but the team batting first will look to score 190+ runs.

The weather is likely to be warm and dry with temperatures above 30 degrees. Dew is unlikely to play a role here.

RR vs LSG: Who Will Win?

Both teams have been a bit inconsistent this year and are equally matched when it comes to strengths and weaknesses. While we are expecting a close finish, we feel that Rajasthan may have a slight edge as they have a better balance in their bowling unit.

RR vs LSG win percentage stands at an even 50% for both teams right now.
