Rajasthan Royals vs Lucknow Super Giants Predictions

The Royals won the first IPL title in 2008, but their next appearance in the final was when they lost to the Titans in 2022. Last season they missed the playoffs by just one win. This is the Super Giants’ third season in the IPL, and they have finished in third place in 2022 and 2023, both times being knocked out in the Eliminator.

Rajasthan Royals’ Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 80, 209, 215*, 73 & 57 in his last 8 innings (all Tests).
Rajasthan Royals’ Jos Buttler has scored 70*, 46, 54, 22, 45, 64 & 38 in his last 9 innings.
Lucknow Super Giants’ Quinton de Kock has scored 2 907 runs in his 96 IPL innings.
Lucknow Super Giants’ KL Rahul has scored 102, 39*, 66, 56 & 21 in his last 5 whiteball innings.

Head-to-Head

The two teams have met three times, the Royals winning the first two encounters, while the Super Giants won the last match.

Rajasthan Royals Form

The Royals are full of talent, and they also have one of the most in-form batters in the world on their books - Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Jaiswal finished 5th on the IPL runs list in 2023, scoring 625 runs at a phenomenal strike rate of 163.61. In the recent Test series against England he scored 712 runs at an average of 89.00

The Royals have a good mix of batters and bowlers and will be pushing for a top two finish if the likes of Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler, Jaiswal, Shimron Hetmyer, Rovman Powell, Ravi Ashwin, Adam Zampa, Trent Boult and Yuzvendra Chahal bring their A-game.

Rajasthan Royals Team News

The Royals are a powerful unit and should be strong challengers for the playoffs.

Lucknow Super Giants Form

The Super Giants have a superbly balanced side, with the only addition being the exciting West Indies paceman Shamar Joseph who was brought in to replace Mark Wood.

Key to their success will be the batting form of their three batter-keepers, KL Rahul, Quinton de Kock and Nicholas Pooran.

The rest of the squad boasts great ability with bat and ball, notably Marcus Stoinis, Kyle Mayers, David Willey, Krunal Pandya, Shamar Joseph and Naveen-ul-Haq.

Lucknow Super Giants Team News

The Super Giants will be hoping to make it third time lucky by improving on their two third-place finishes to make it through to the final at the third time of asking.

Verdict

Rajasthan Royals v Lucknow Super Giants

I am backing Rajasthan Royals to win. I am also backing Yashasvi Jaiswal to top score for Rajasthan Royals.

Quinton de Kock is a good bet to top score for the Lucknow Super Giants.
