Rajasthan Royals have surprised everyone with their performances in this edition of the IPL. Jos Buttler has been an inspiration for the Royals successful run. On the other hand, KL Rahul's team has performed so well this season that they didn't even need Rahul to win them most of their games. They found different match winners in every game and are almost qualified for the playoffs.
Lucknow Super Giants:
LSG have been a team to beat this season. They seemed to be a well oiled machine. They are clicking in each and every department. Quinton De Kock and KL Rahul make the most destructive opening pair followed it up by Hooda and Stoinis with their blitzkreig. They have too many options in bowling. Holder, Avesh, Bishnoi are the core of their bowling department.
Rajasthan Royals:
The biggest setback for them is Hetmyer who has been finishing games this season is unavailable due to the birth of his child. Royals have lost 3 out of the last 4 games and made it tough for themselves to qualify. However a win today will help them make the playoffs.
Players to watch out for:
KL Rahul:
There is a battle for the orange cap today. You never see KL Rahul chasing someone for the orange cap but Buttler has had a dream season and looks likely to win the orange cap but you can never count Rahul out when it comes to the orange cap. It remains to be seen how he tackles Boult.
Trent Boult:
Last time these 2 sides met, Boult knocked Rahul out first ball with an absolute beauty. Boult would look to repeat his heroics this time as well in order to seal qualification for the playoffs. If RR are to qualify, they need Boult at his best in order to get the desired results.
Pitch Report:- Expect another high scoring game, pitch is good to bat on and toss winning team may prefer to bat first. Spinners can slow things down but nothing much here for the pacers.
Date and Time:- The match will be played at Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai at 7.30 PM
