Lucknow Super Giants are ready to host Rajasthan Royals for the 32nd game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 season. The match will be played at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Monday, April 21.
LSG are unable to bring their A game to the table and are on a three-match losing streak. They are ninth on the points table with just four points, with two wins in six games. Their net run rate (NRR) of -1.173 requires plenty of improvement.
Meanwhile, Rajasthan Royals experienced a blip in their previous encounter. They lost to Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by four wickets and now have lost two games this season. Skipper Riyan Parag is yet to find form and seems a bit under the pump. Out of the two teams, LSG are in a more desperate need of a win.
