Rajasthan Royals (RR) will take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Match 32 of the Indian Premier League 2026 (IPL 2026) on Wednesday, April 22, at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Rajasthan got their campaign off to a rollicking start, winning their first four matches.
However, they have hit a bump in their last two fixtures, losing against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) respectively. On the other hand, Lucknow started the season with a six-wicket loss against Delhi Capitals but bounced back with successive victories.

The Rishabh Pant-led side failed to continue their momentum and ended up losing the last three consecutive fixtures. With both teams having gone astray in their campaign, they will look to return to winning ways in the upcoming game.
