Rajasthan Royals (RR) will lock horns against the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the 26th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. The Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur will play host to this encounter on Wednesday, April 19.

The Royals have had a fantastic run in the competition so far. They have played five games and won four of those. They faced the Gujarat Titans (GT) in their previous fixture and beat them in a closely fought contest.

Bowling first, the Royals restricted the Titans to 177/7, with Sandeep Sharma returning with figures of 2/25. In response, Sanju Samson (60) hit a fifty and Shimron Hetmyer played an outstanding knock of 56* off 26 balls to take their team across the line with four balls to spare.

RR will be high in confidence after this win and will be looking to grab their fifth win on Wednesday.

Lucknow Super Giants, on the other hand, have had a mixed season so far. They have managed to win three out of five games and lost two. They suffered their second loss in the competition when they went down against Punjab Kings in their last outing.

Skipper KL Rahul scored 74 at the top of the order but lack of contributions from other batters resulted in them finishing their innings at 159/8. Yudhvir Singh Charak, Mark Wood, and Ravi Bishnoi picked up two wickets each to take the game to the last over but failed to hold their nerves as the Kings chased down the total with two wickets in hand.

The Super Giants will be eager to get back to winning ways in their next fixture.
