IPL Match of the Day: LSG vs. RR Head-to-Head Prediction
LSG has defeated CSK, the reigning champions, in back-to-back tournament games. The team led by KL Rahul will try to maintain momentum in the face of RR, who are playing well this year.
This Saturday, April 27, is LSG‘s home matchup vs RR. Following an amazing raid in Chennai, where Marcus Stoinis assisted the team in chasing down 211 runs at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, the KL Rahul team has been on a high. The Rajasthani ‘top of the table’ will be hosted in Lucknow’s house. Between the two sides is a fixture that is reversed. LSG had lost by 20 runs in their previous match against RR at the Sawai Mansingh stadium in Jaipur.
On Saturday, the match could end up being a war between the spinners. While Yuzvendra Chahal and R Ashwin have eight overs in the middle for RR, LSG has two very strong players in Krunal Pandya and Ravi Bishnoi. Dhruv Jurel of RR has discussed how Avesh Khan will aid in their preparation for the LSG. Jurel must keep in mind, though, that Devdutt Padikkal, who was moved from RR prior to the season, is also a Lucknow player.
At the top of the table right now, Rajasthan has a strong bowling unit. This can prove to be a distinction between the two groups. KL Rahul and Sanju Samson, who are vying for a spot in the T20 World Cup 2024 squad, will also come under scrutiny. Just a few days before the squad is announced, both hitters have been playing well lately, so a fantastic outing might really help.
There have been four games played between LSG and RR. Rajasthan has won three of those four meetings with amazing dominance. This season, RR defeated LSG 20 runs at home.
RR vs LSG: TEAM NEWS
It is anticipated that Mayank Yadav will be almost fully recovered and may play again for the LSG. The Rajasthan batsmen will experience a completely different dynamic as a result. Since the visiting team has won seven of their eight games thus far, it is unlikely that they will make any changes.
LSG Projected XI
Quinton de Kock, Ravi Bishnoi, Matt Henry, Yash Thakur, Deepak Hooda, Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya, Marcus Stoinis, Marcus Stoinis, Devdutt Padikkal, and Nicholas Pooran
