Info: 

• KL Rahul will be vital for LSG against a top class bowling unit. He scored 82 against CSK in last game at the same ground. Back him as LSG top batter. The pitch will help the spinners and Ravi Bishnoi, even though he has been ordinary at times, can play a big role. We are putting our money on Bishnoi as top wicket-taker as batters will be keen to attack him as other bowlers are hard to score off.
• Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a magnificent century in the last game against MI. Jaiswal is someone who can be backed for consistency now since he has already got a ton to his name. Back him as RR top batter. Yuzvendra Chahal will be the trump card at Ekana pitch thus he is our pick for top bowler for RR.
• Scoring fours is not easy on a sluggish pitch at the Ekana Stadium and given the big hitters in both teams, we feel a lot of sixes will be hit in the game. Back total sixes in the match to be over 15.5.

Toss Predictions: 

Toss will be crucial as there could be some dew in the second innings thus chasing will get slightly easier. We expect captains to win the toss and bowl first.

Weather & Pitch Report: 

Weather: ⛅

The temperature will range between 41 and 25 degrees. The humidity will be 21 per cent and the wind speed will be 21 km/h.

Pitch Report:

The pitch at the Ekana Stadium is usually slow and damp. It is not the best to bat, especially against the spinners. However, in the last game against CSK, they left a bit of grass so spinners did not get much help. Maybe, it was because of the opposition they were playing. We feel LSG would once again prepare a slow pitch. A score of 160-170 has been just about par here.

Team NEWS: 

LSG Team News: 

Mayank Yadav was close to fit in the last game and even though we have no official confirmation about his injury status, we feel he has got enough rest and should be back in the playing XI. Devdutt Padikkal has got several chances as impact player but he has looked very ordinary. He should not get more chances this season given his scratchy innings of 13 in 19 balls vs CSK. 

RR Team News: 

There are no injury concerns for Rajasthan Royals and the team should field the same playing XI against Lucknow Super Giants.

Rajasthan Royals to beat Lucknow Super Giants.

Lucknow Super Giants a 67% chance to win this match 

Rajasthan Royals a 33% chance to win this match 

Key Players: 

Lucknow Super Giants 

KL Rahul 

KL Rahul scored 82 runs against CSK when he last played at the venue. Rahul will be vital against RR as he is the team’s best player of spin and Royals have one of the best spin attacks in the tournament. He has scored 302 runs this season, including 2 fifties.

Marcus Stoinis 

Marcus Stoinis played one of the best innings in IPL 2024 and blasted 124 in 63 balls to help LSG chase 211 vs CSK. He will be over the moon after that knock and would look to replicate the performance against RR, which he is very capable of.

Nicholas Pooran 

Pooran has been excellent in the last few years and he has played with great authority in IPL 2024. Coming in at tough situations, he has changed the complexion of the game. He scored 34 in 15 balls in the last game against CSK and turned the game in favour of LSG..

Matt Henry 

Henry has played only two games this season but he has made an impact. He bowled a spell of 1-28 in the previous game against CSK. Also, his economy of less than eight has allowed LSG to restrict teams to a manageable score. He can be a lethal weapon for KL Rahul.

LSG Possible Impact Player Substitutes 

M Siddharth/Deepak Hooda, Amit Mishra, K Gowtham, Yudhvir Singh, Arshin Kulkarni 

M Siddharth could be used as an impact player if LSG is bowling first and Hooda can be used as an impact player if LSG is chasing a score.

Rajasthan Royals 

Yashasvi Jaiswal 

Jaiswal’s return to form will be a massive boost for the Rajasthan Royals ahead of the playoffs. The ace batter scored a blistering century against Mumbai Indians and helped the team chase 180 with nine wickets to spare.

Jos Buttler 

Jos Buttler has also looked in great touch in the last few games which also saw him score two hundreds. Buttler has scored 285 runs this season and he is someone who can be mighty consistent if he gets into a zone of his own, which he seems to have achieved.

Sanju Samson 

Sanju Samson has also been mighty consistent for the Royals. He scored 38 not out against MI. He is also one of the better players of spin. Overall, he has scored 314 runs this season.

Sandeep Sharma 

Sandeep Sharma made a great return to the Royals team and picked five wickets for just 18 runs against MI. He is a class bowler and can be lethal with the new ball. One can bet on him to be very effective on Lucknow surface.

RR Possible Impact Player Substitutes 

Keshav Maharaj, Shivam Dube, Navdeep Saini, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Yuzvendra Chahal/JosButtler 

There is no doubt that Chahal is going to be the impact player if Rajasthan Royals bowl first. If they bat first, Jos Buttler will come into play.

Team Forms: 

LSG Team Form: 

LSG have been decent so far, winning five out of the eight games they have played.

RR Team Form: 

Rajasthan Royals have been in great form, winning seven out of the eight games played this season.
