Lucknow Super Giants will take on Rajasthan Royals in their next game as they look to win their match and reach 18 points which will give them a chance to finish in the top two. Rajasthan Royal will be hoping for a win too as it will help them in the race to the qualifiers of IPL 2022.

Lucknow Super Giants and Rajasthan Royals will be up against each other in their next match of the Indian Premier League 2022. The KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants in their debut season have impressed all with their performances and are firm favourites to finish in the top two of the points table if they manage to win the game against Rajasthan Royals.

Since the beginning of the tournament, LSG have performed both with bat and ball which has helped them get this far in the cash-rich league. Apart from the a few games that they have lost, KL Rahul’s team have been clinical with their performances in the tournament.

Rajasthan Royals have also done well in parts of the tournament. Jos Buttler and Yuzvendra Chahal have been the backbone of their performances which is why the team is still in the race for the playoffs. However, a few tactical errors in the eyes of cricket experts have cost them matches that could have gone in their favour. With the tournament approaching its business end, Sanju Samson will be hoping that his side can do well in the remaining games and qualify for the playoffs.
