What Have The Two Teams Done So Far?
Rajasthan Royals have proven to be nearly unbeatable and occupy the top spot on the IPL 2024 points table with seven wins from eight games. In fact, one more win should take them to the playoffs but they will obviously want to finish in the top two after this kind of a start.
Lucknow Super Giants haven’t looked very sparkling as a team, have had their fitness issues but have still managed to carve out five wins from eight games. This has them tied with the third-placed Sunrisers Hyderabad who also have 10 points in those many matches.
Quick LSG vs RR Preview
While Lucknow Super Giants are on a two-match winning streak and enter this match with the confidence of having beaten the might of Chennai Super Kings they will know they are against a team with not just confidence but also momentum.
And for that, Lucknow will need to pull off something that Bangalore did against Hyderabad.
For starters, Lucknow might want to bat first and put up a challenging total, a score that might not be a sure-shot winning one but enough to put pressure back on Rajasthan.
Now while the Royals have won seven games and done so five times chasing, it must be quickly added that they haven’t quite been challenged. A score of over 200 might not be enough given their batting line-up but at the same time it could put that pressure of a chase.
Especially if Lucknow’s motley cast of bowling can find their rhythm early.
All in all, this could turn into one of the more gripping contests.
