In match no.64, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) will meet the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. This is going to be a reverse fixture as both sides are in completely different kinds of stages at the business end of the league. This is a must-win game for the Royals to stay in the hunt for the playoff race.
The last time RR vs LSG happened, it was a low-scoring affair at the Ekana Stadium, where the Super Giants failed to chase a target of 160 as they were bowled out for the score of 119 runs. Three of the top order batters for LSG went back to the pavilion without scoring. But things have changed since then.
IPL 2026: RR vs LSG Preview:
The Rajasthan Royals, who won four out of their first six games, have now won two out of their last six. Riyan Parag and his boys might have just run out of fuel, as they have failed to win the matches in the crucial stages of the league. They sit with 12 points with two more games in hand and need to win two games to secure a qualification.
LSG, on the other hand, have been ruining the playoff chances of other teams in the latter stages of the league. With the new opening combination of Josh Inglis and Mitchell Marsh, the team have been running in red-hot form, winning two of their last three games. They will look to spoil the party of RR tonight as well and keep their form intact.
The RR vs LSG clash will be a crucial one for both sides, despite contrasting scenarios in the business end of the league. The two teams have met seven times, with the Royals having an upper hand, winning 5 games, and twice the Super Giants have won it. Last time these two met at this very venue, Rishabh Pant’s side had the better, winning the game by 2 runs.
The pitch for the RR vs LSG clash will be a high-scoring one with first-innings totals exceeding 220 in all three matches at the venue this season. Chasing has been easier at this venue with dew coming in place in the second innings, and twice, 220+ totals have been chased down easily. The team winning the toss would like to field first.
