3/24 IPL Match Prediction RR vs LSG Match 4

IPL match prediction RR vs LSG  for match 3 is here! For its exciting clashes go hand in hand, we got another thriller on 3/24 Sunday in the form of RR vs LSG contest. The game will take place at the Sawai Mansingh Indoor Stadium in Rajasthan.

Rajasthan Royals & Lucknow Super Giants Current Status

Before we go into IPL Match Prediction RR vs LSG, you need to know the current status for both teams. Rajasthan Royals haven’t changed much of their foundation, they're a formidable unit that has backed the same players from last season to propel them this season.

Adam Zampa was the latest addition to their side who could have added some great flavor to the team and possibly formed a deadly duo with Ravi Ashwin. However, he has pulled out of the entire tournament for personal reasons.

This will dent Rajasthan’s plans as the management must strategize accordingly with Zampa in their bowling plans.

The team hasn’t yet announced Zampa’s replacement, but withdrawing from the mega event a day before it kicks off must not have helped the Royals in any way.

The Australian leg-spinner has weaved his magic in almost every league around the world as he is often seen participating in all sorts of franchise cricket, unlike most Australian players.

The Royals had signed him for INR 1.5 crores last year.

As for the Lucknow Super Giants, they stayed with their original squad from the last season as well apart from making subtle changes. They roped in Shivam Mavi for INR6.4 crore, and spinner Siddharth for INR2.4 crore, who happens to be an uncapped player.

England all-rounder David Willey was also signed for INR 2 crores alongside Australia’s Ashton Turner INR 1 crore. Willey is, however, set to miss the first few games for LSG due to personal reasons.

RR vs LSG: Predicting The Pitch Conditions

Like most batting surfaces in India, this Rajasthan ground supports the batters too. The surface doesn’t allow outrageous swing or bounce to the bowlers so that will allow the top-order to go big in the first six overs.

In over 50 IPL games the ground has hosted, an average first-inning total lingers around 160.

Last year though, the average dropped a little as the pitch showed mixed behavior. No one can be certain of the conditions until the game day, but if it remains a batting paradise, we are most likely to see a big total on the board from both sides.

RR vs LSG: Players With X-Factor

Both teams are brimming with elite local and foreign players, but it comes down to a handful of match-winners at the end. Here we have picked a few players as part of our IPL match prediction: RR vs LSG, who are likely to make it big on Sunday.

De Kock

A man of Quinton de Kock’s caliber will always be in the opposition’s mind. His attacking T20 batting makes him the kind of batsman the bowling unit wants to be well-prepared for before the game.

The former Mumbai Indians wicket-keeper has immense experience playing in India which allows him to adjust and analyze almost every ground’s condition.

With 96 IPL matches under his belt, de Kock has got 2,907 runs. His prime IPL season came in 2022 where he smoked every opposition and went on to get to 508 runs in 15 games including a 140-run blitz.

LSG bought him for INR 6.75 crores in the 2022 IPL auction.

Boult

New Zealand’s Trent Boult is an elite new-ball seamer regardless of the format. His ability to bring the ball back in, especially against the right-handed batters makes him a dependable bowler for any team in the world he plays in.

His job will be to get rid of the LSG openers as soon as he can in his opening spell, whereas Lucknow will look to avoid making any mistake on his peaches and make hay of the bad ones which he doesn’t really offer very often.

Jaiswal

Yashasvi Jaiswal is probably the man every IPL team will dislike bowling against. The Indian youngster has made a name for himself in no time in both franchise cricket and the international side.

His fast hands, elite hand-eye coordination, and game awareness make him a deadly opener. Jaiswal has a knack for going big from ball one.

And he showed that even in the recent Tests against England at home where he walked down the pitch to hammer James Anderson for boundaries.

Lucknow will be delighted to see the back of his shirt as early as they could in the game or else he will run with the game in a jiffy.

What makes the batting prodigy so formidable is his 360 game. He can slog, defend, sweep, reverse sweep, and cut it all while making it all look super easy.

In just 37 IPL games since making his debut with Rajasthan in 2020, the left-hand has amassed 1,172 runs with the highest score of 124.

He averages just above 32 with a strike rate of nearly 139.

IPL Match Prediction RR vs LSG

It’s pretty tight to declare one team a clear favourite but the hosts, Rajasthan Royals, look slightly better on the paper.

They have the win on the cards as their squad has more members who are in formidable form. Dhruv Jurel, Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ravi Ashwin, and Trent Boult are in red-hot form.

Especially the Indian lads are brimming with confidence after a heroic run against England in the Tests. While this is a shorter and more aggressive version of the sport, a man in golden touch will not find anything hard when he sees the ball better than most.

As far as the LSG are concerned, they are a well-balanced side too but their top-order has not had much competitive cricket in the international arena in recent times, apart from KL Rahul.

Kyle Mayers, Nicholas Pooran, and de Kock are T20 assets but not at their prime at least in the present times.

Hence, for our IPL Match Prediction RR vs LSG, RR has a better chance at taking down Lucknow on Sunday when they clash at a jam-packed ground in Jaipur.
