Rajasthan Royals(RR) and Lucknow Super Giants(LSG) will be locking horns in the Fourth match of the 17th edition today at Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur. They are playing their first match of IPL 2024.
RR and LSG are head to head 3 times previously and RR seems heavy over LSG with 2 victories over Giants. Royals had 2 victories while defending the target and lost 1 game in 2023 while chasing the target by 10 runs over LSG.
The Rajasthan Royal led by Sanju Samson started the previous season very well with 4 wins in the first 5 matches but got lost midway and lose 6 matches from the remaining the remaining 9. Rajasthan Royal had won the inagural season of the IPL 2008 led by late Shane Warne.
Rajasthan’s Qualification depend on the other team’s performance and Net Run Rate which didn’t come in favor of the Royals last year. This year they will be looking to qualify independently for the Playoff after they failed to qualify last year with just 7 wins in 14 matches.
Lucknow Super Giants led by Kl Rahul qualified for the playoffs in both the previous season 2022 and 2023 but will be looking for their maiden title this time.
