Jaipur is all set to host the second home game for the Rajasthan Royals (RR) against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Saturday, April 19. The match starts at 7:30 pm IST.
Heading into this game, both the teams had lost their previous encounters. While RR lost to DC in the Super Over, LSG lost to MS Dhoni's heroic fort CSK.
Both these teams are in the second half of the points table. They need to notch up a few wins to move up the IPL 2025 points table. For RR, there are question marks of Sanju Samson's availability after he picked up a side strain in the previous game.
For LSG, the franchise is hopeful of having Mayank Yadav available for this game. He joined the franchise after recovering from his lower back injury. He will undergo a fitness test before his availability is confirmed.
RR vs LSG Pitch Report at Sawai Man Singh Stadium
The Sawai Man Singh Stadium is among the best batting stadiums in the country in the IPL. There are plenty of runs in store for the team that bats better. The pitch is a belter, with the ball coming onto the bat quickly. This being an evening game, the impact of dew will be an interesting observation.
How good the pitch is for batting can be gauged from how the last match was played between RR and RCB. RCB chased down RR's target of 174 runs, losing just one wicket. It was a thumping win for RCB as both Virat Kohli and Phil Salt scored fifties. The Royals can take a lesson from that game and look to chase if they win the toss.
RR vs LSG Weather Report
The match starts at 7.30 pm IST. The temperature during that phase of the game will be around 35 to 40 degrees, as per Accuweather. The conditions will be humid, and a gentle wind will be blowing across. There is no chance of any rain hindering the progress of this match.
