RR vs LSG
These teams meet for the fifth time this season with Royals winning only once out of four meetings between them.
Now at the fringe of playoff contention, Royals hope to reverse their fortunes in this crucial contest with Yashasvi Jaiswal, Nitish Rana and Jofra Archer expected to deliver for them while Sanju Samson who retired injured may play an instrumental role if fully fit.
LSG are coming off of two consecutive losses. Part of their batting woes lies in not scoring runs in the final over – DC needed only six off it and they failed to meet that mark!
For LSG to climb out of their bottom half position they require some big innings from their batsmen in this game.
Aiden Markram will need to continue his fine run of form if they want to avoid another successive loss. In the first innings, Markram put together an impressive 76-run partnership with Ayush Badoni; unfortunately in the second innings he was removed due to some fine fielding from Dhruv Jurel and Wanindu Hasaranga and ultimately dismissed by Dhruv Jurel and Wanindu Hasaranga’s superb juggling catch.
Jaiswal and Parag were dismissed shortly afterwards, leaving RR to need 25 off 19 balls in three overs to win it. Avesh Khan decided to add spice by taking swift action against both set batters before leaving just nine runs off six deliveries required in their final over.
Close finishes like that one are what make this rivalry so exciting, adding depth and history between these teams as an IPL clash. Grab yourself a cup of tea and join us as we guide you through every twist, nail-biting finish, and drama that has made this such an intense rivalry!
