New Delhi: The weekend has arrived, and so have the double headers. The match number 36 of the IPL 2025 promises to be another intense clash. Rajasthan Royals are set to take on the Lucknow Super Giants at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on 19th April at 7.30 pm. After grabbing two consecutive wins, the Rajasthan Royals are having a dismal season, winning only 2 of their 7 matches, and are sitting in the 8th spot in the points table. Lucknow Super Giants have secured 4 wins from their 7 games and are currently sitting in fifth place.
This clash holds immense importance for the Royals, as another defeat could severely affect their playoff hopes and result in their elimination from the tournament.
Lucknow Super Giants faced a defeat in their last game against CSK at their home by 5 wickets. However, their batting unit has looked dominant this season, with Nicholas Pooran stealing the show in almost every game through his explosive batting. Currently, he is the orange cap holder with 357 runs in 7 matches. Other overseas batters like Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh have also been crucial at the top, providing solid starts throughout the tournament. On the bowling front, Shardul Thakur has been among the wickets, while young leg-spinner Digvesh Rathi has emerged as a key player in the middle overs.
RR recently played a thrilling match against Delhi Capitals that ended in a super over. They couldn’t score 9 runs in the final over of the chase, which pushed the game into a super over, where they eventually lost. After winning two matches in a row, RR have now faced three back-to-back defeats. Their bowling has been up and down, with only Jofra Archer consistently performing well. Sandeep Sharma and Wanindu Hasaranga have had a few good moments, but it hasn’t been enough to secure wins. The batting lineup also lacks depth, while they often get good starts, they struggle to build on them and post big totals.
Now, the big question is – can RR bounce back and win at home to return to winning ways, or will LSG take this game and strengthen their position in the top 4?
