Rajasthan Royals vs Lucknow Super Giants: Both teams preview
Rajasthan Royals
It’s been a tough ride for the Rajasthan Royals this season, with just two wins from seven matches. RR is still searching for stability and consistency. They began their campaign with a loss against Sunrisers Hyderabad but briefly found momentum with back-to-back victories against Chennai Super Kings and Punjab Kings. However, the team stumbled once again, losing their next three matches, including a nail-biting tie against Delhi Capitals that ended in a Super Over defeat. With five losses and several close finishes, the Royals need to regroup and focus on strengthening both their bowling attack and top-order batting. Their net run rate has also taken a hit, making every upcoming match a must-win in their quest to stay alive in the tournament.
Lucknow Super Giants
Lucknow Super Giants didn’t start the season on a high note, suffering a narrow loss to Delhi Capitals in their opener. However, the team bounced back impressively and has managed to win four out of their seven matches so far, putting them on a steady path this season. Despite the slow start, LSG gained momentum with back-to-back victories against top teams like Sunrisers Hyderabad, Mumbai Indians, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Gujarat Titans. Although their recent match didn’t go in their favor—losing to Chennai Super Kings by 5 wickets—they continue to be a formidable side with match-winners across all departments.
