IPL — Lucknow Super Giants take on Rajasthan Royals at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium (Lucknow) on Wednesday, April 22, 2026. 

The IPL is halfway through the competition, and the Lucknow Super Giants take on the Rajasthan Royals at their home ground, the Ekana Cricket Stadium B Ground, in Ardonamau.

The contest will be a final opportunity for the Rishabh Pant-led side to bounce back at their home ground against a franchise that has shown a promising performance throughout all matches they have played so far in this edition of the IPL.

Rajasthan Royals have lost some momentum with two consecutive defeats, but would look to bounce back under Kumar Sangakkara and Riyan Parag’s leadership. It's the youngest and the most dynamic side of this IPL, and they are at the top of their game, having secured 8 points after 6 games.

Lucknow Super Giants vs Rajasthan Royals Match Info

The toss will have a role to play as any team winning the toss would like to use the green turf to their advantage with the new ball.

Having won the toss, any team should bowl first and make use of the green patches that will benefit the seamers. On the other hand, the spinners might also turn effective, reducing the overall run-scoring chances at this venue. Hence, chasing might be comparatively easier, as dew might complicate things for spinners in the second innings.

  • Likely toss call: Bowling
  • Par score (1st inns): 160-170
