Rajasthan Royals vs Lucknow Super Giants
The match between Lucknow Super Giants vs Rajasthan Royals is going to be held shortly. The match will be held at Sawai Mansingh Stadium. Only one T20 match has been played at this ground before, so it is difficult to predict how the pitch will behave in today's match. But looking at the pitch, I think the batsmen will have a lot of advantage in this match.
Rajasthan Royals won the toss and elected to bat. Both teams have very strong squads. Especially the batting order of both teams is strong. So chances of seeing high scores in today's match are high. However, I consider Lucknow as favorites in today's match. Looks like Kl Rahul's team will win today.
I thought that the starting of Rajasthan Royals will not be good in this match, I see that they have scored 49 runs in 5 overs, their current run rate is close to 10. However, maybe because of playing with so much heat, their runs came well, but they already lost two wickets within 5 overs. And these two wickets were very important for Rajasthan Royals. These two were their openers Judge Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
I don't want to underestimate any team in terms of strength but Lucknow Super Giant's performance in the last Indian Premier League was good while Rajasthan Royals' performance was much worse than them and Lucknow Super Giants faced them once in the last IPL season and Rajasthan Royals lost. . Let's see who can win today although the run speed of Rajasthan Royals looks good today but the result of the match can be predicted after Lucknow Super Giants start batting.
Despite losing two quick wickets, Rajasthan team is in a good position now. At the end of 14.5 overs, Rajasthan Royals managed to collect 142 runs by losing 3 wickets. Captain Sanju Samson remains unbeaten with 59 off 39 balls and Ryan Parag is out with 43 off 29 balls. Captain Samson is playing well today.
Apart from Krunal Pandya, no other bowler of Lucknow could bowl controlled. Every bowler gave a lot of runs. Krunal Pandya could not take any wicket but he gave only 19 runs in 4 overs. Rajasthan's batting looks like they will collect 200+ today. Hetmyre, Ashwin and Jurel are also good enough batsmen. They are capable of batting at a smart strike rate.
