Rajasthan Royals to win
Lucknow Super Giants will take on Rajasthan Royals in the 44th match of the IPL 2024. The game will be played at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow and will start at 7:30 PM IST on April 27.
Lucknow Super Giants will be over the moon after twin wins over Chennai Super Kings. The team seems to have peaked at the right moment, with KL Rahul, Marcus Stoinis and Nicholas Pooran picking some good form. They have five wins in eight games and need three wins in their remaining six games to qualify for the playoffs. The wins over CSK have certainly made them a strong contender to qualify for playoffs.
Meanwhile, the game against RR will be a tough one for LSG. RR are flying high after seven wins in eight games. A win over LSG will make them qualify for the playoffs. The conditions in Lucknow have favoured spinners thus RR won’t feel much pressure of an away game. In Chahal and Ashwin, they have two class operators. Also, the form of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson, Riyan Parag make their batting look strong.
TV channels: In India, LSG vs RR match will be available on Star Network. The match will also be available on Sky Sports (UK), Fox Sports (Australia), Sky Sport NZ (New Zealand), SuperSport (South Africa) and Willow TV (USA)
IPL 2024 Live Streaming: LSG vs RR fixture will be live-streamed on Jio Cimema in India. In Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Nepal, the matches can be watched live on Yupp TV. Other channels where the match will be streamed live are Willow, Foxtel Go and Kayo.
Toss will be crucial as there could be some dew in the second innings thus chasing will get slightly easier. We expect captains to win the toss and bowl first.
The pitch at the Ekana Stadium is usually slow and damp. It is not the best to bat, especially against the spinners. However, in the last game against CSK, they left a bit of grass so spinners did not get much help. Maybe, it was because of the opposition they were playing. We feel LSG would once again prepare a slow pitch. A score of 160-170 has been just about par here.
The temperature will range between 41 and 25 degrees. The humidity will be 21 per cent and the wind speed will be 21 km/h.

Mayank Yadav was close to fit in the last game and even though we have no official confirmation about his injury status, we feel he has got enough rest and should be back in the playing XI. Devdutt Padikkal has got several chances as impact player but he has looked very ordinary. He should not get more chances this season given his scratchy innings of 13 in 19 balls vs CSK.
M Siddharth/Deepak Hooda, Amit Mishra, K Gowtham, Yudhvir Singh, Arshin Kulkarni
M Siddharth could be used as an impact player if LSG is bowling first and Hooda can be used as an impact player if LSG is chasing a score.
LSG have been decent so far, winning five out of the eight games they have played
Quinton de Kock, KL Rahul (c & wk), Ayush Badoni, Marcus Stoinis, Nicholas Pooran, Krunal Pandya, Ravi Bishnoi, Mohsin Khan/Mayank Yadav, Matt Henry, Yash Thakur, Deepak Hooda/M Siddharth
Dream11 Captain Options: Jos Buttler, KL Rahul
Dream11 Vice Captain Options: Nicholas Pooran, Shimron Hetmyer
| Wicket-Keepers | Jos Buttler (C), KL Rahul, Quinton de Kock, Nicholas Pooran(VC) |
|---|---|
| Batters | Deepak Hooda, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shimron Hetmyer |
| All-Rounders | Ravichandran Ashwin, Marcus Stoinis |
| Bowlers | Yuzvendra Chahal, Ravi Bishnoi |
There are no injury concerns for Rajasthan Royals and the team should field the same playing XI against Lucknow Super Giants.
Keshav Maharaj, Shivam Dube, Navdeep Saini, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Yuzvendra Chahal/JosButtler
There is no doubt that Chahal is going to be the impact player if Rajasthan Royals bowl first. If they bat first, Jos Buttler will come into play.
Rajasthan Royals have been in great form, winning seven out of the eight games played this season.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (c & wk), Riyan Parag, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Rovman Powell, Ravichandran Ashwin, Trent Boult, Avesh Khan, Sandeep Sharma, Yuzvendra Chahal/Jos Buttler
Rajasthan Royals hold a clear advantage over LSG as they have won three out of the four games they have played.
| Matches Played | LSG Won | RR Won | Tie | NR | |

RR are being deemed as favourites for the upcoming clash and why not as they have been superb as a team, winning seven out of the eight games. They even defeated LSG in the previous meet.
We suggest backing RR to win. RR looks the most balanced team at the moment. They have quality batters, who are in great form, and there bowling is also one of the best, if not the best in the tournament. RR have enough firepower to beat LSG at home ground.
KL Rahul, Nicholas Pooran and Marcus Stoinis will be main batters. Rahul has scored over 300 runs and will be vital against a class RR bowling attack. Stoinis scored a magnificent century in the last game against CSK and helped LSG chase 211. Pooran has also been mighty impressive, scoring 280 runs.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson will be the main batters for Rajasthan Royals. Jaiswal scored a brilliant hundred against MI in last game while Buttler has also scored two hundreds this season, with nearly 300 runs to his name. Samson has scored 314 runs in eight games.
Matt Henry with the new ball can chip in with early wickets while Yash Thakur is another good option with the ball. He has taken nine wickets this season. Also, Ravi Bishnoi can be handy on the Ekana Stadium pitch.
Rajasthan Royals’ bowling will rest on Yuzvendra Chahal, Sandeep Sharma and Trent Boult. Sharma made a great return to the game and picked five wickets against MI while Chahal is chasing purple cap, with 13 wickets. Boult can be lethal with the new ball.
RR are favourites to win. The team looks very strong at the moment. Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler, Sanju Samson, Riyan Parag have scored runs consistently while Yuzvendra Chahal, Sandeep Sharma, Trent Boult, Avesh Khan have been brilliant with ball. It will take a mammoth effort from LSG to stop RR juggernaut. We are backing RR to register a comprehensive win.
