Rajasthan have enjoyed playing at this venue traditionally and will hope for a quick start. They have enjoyed quick starts at the top, and I am backing them to do that again. My money is on the Royals scoring more in the powerplay.
- Rajasthan Royals have scored the most powerplay runs in 6 of their last 7 matches (IPL)
- Rajasthan Royals have scored the most runs in the powerplay in all 3 matches against Lucknow (IPL)
- Lucknow Super Giants have conceded the most powerplay runs in their last 6 matches (IPL)
Head to Head
Three matches have been played between the Royals and the Super Giants so far in the two seasons that Lucknow was part of the IPL. Rajasthan holds a 2-1 win-loss edge.
Last season’s match saw Lucknow defeat Rajasthan by 10 runs at this venue. Kyler Myers scored a fifty, Avesh Khan took three wickets, and Marcus Stoinis did the all-round show with a 21 and 2 for 28.
Rajasthan Royals Form
The Royals failed to crack the playoff code last season with 14 points from their group stage fixtures. They started with four wins out of five, but inconsistent results at the business end ruined their chances.
A huge part of Rajasthan’s inability to finish in the top four was their poor form at this venue. Traditionally a fortress, last season was a complete disaster, as they lost four of the five matches played here.
The addition of Rovman Powell gives them late-order hitting ability, although Adam Zampa’s pull-out will create a void in bowling.
Rajasthan Royals Team News
The Royals traded Avesh Khan for Devdutt Padikkal from Lucknow. This match could see both debuting for their new franchises. Rajasthan will be without Prasidh Krishna, with the seamer ruled out of the season with an injury.
Lucknow Super Giants Form
Lucknow Super Giants finished the IPL 2023 group stages in third place with 17 points. Yet they couldn't go further and lost to Mumbai in the eliminator.
The KL Rahul-led side didn’t falter on the road and won three of their first four away matches last season, including one against the Royals. Replicating that form could be crucial for early-season success this year.
Mark Wood pulled out of the tournament after the England Cricket Board decided to manage his workload. He’s replaced by Shamar Joseph, although coach Justin Langer named Mayank Yadav as the one to watch out for.
Lucknow Super Giants Team News
David Willey will miss the start of the tournament due to personal reasons. KL Rahul was under an injury cloud, although the latest reports suggest he’s fit for this match.
