The Rajasthan Royals (RR) will take on the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Match 20 of the 2022 Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Sunday. According to the IPL schedule 2022, this will be the evening game of the double-header.
RR began their IPL campaign this season with impressive wins over the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and the Mumbai Indians (MI). However, they suffered a setback, going down to the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by four wickets in their last match. LSG began their IPL journey with a defeat to Gujarat Titans (GT) but have since won three games in a row. In their previous game, they defeated Delhi by six wickets.
Rajasthan have some work to do in the bowling department. They were exposed to an extent as RCB’s Dinesh Karthik went berserk at the end. There is no perceptible weakness in LSG, although Evin Lewis and Manish Pandey’s batting form have not been up to the mark.
Today's IPL toss result
Lucknow have won the toss and have opted to bowl first. Speaking about his decision, LSG captain KL Rahul explained:
“We're going to look to bowl first. Even last game, I didn't have any other reason. Just that we want to know what to chase and maybe, dew might come on later.”
Lucknow have made two changes to their IPL team. Marcus Stoinis and Dushmantha Chameera come in for Evin Lewis and Andrew Tye. Rajasthan also have two changes. Kuldeep Sen and Rassie van der Dussen replace Navdeep Saini and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
