Preview
Lucknow Super Giants will play against Rajasthan Royals in the 44th match of the IPL 2024 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Following their two consecutive wins over CSK in the tournament, LSG have made a big move into the top four of the points table. On the other side, Rajasthan Royals are firmly in the top spot of the IPL 2024 standings after winning the first seven matches out of eight in the ongoing season.
Pitch Report
The pitches at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow have improved substantially for the batters in the ongoing IPL 2024, allowing them to score runs at a higher tempo than last season. With that, the average first innings score of 158 is not going to be enough for either Lucknow Super Giants or Rajasthan Royals to defend during their upcoming IPL match.
Team Analysis
Lucknow Super Giants
Lucknow Super Giants defeated Chennai Super Kings at the Chepauk on the back of a great hundred from Marcus Stoinis in a run chase in excess of 200 during their IPL 2024 match. Although the bowling attack of LSG conceded a big total to CSK, the quality spell upfront from Matt Henry will keep them in good stead in the upcoming matches of the tournament.
