Second match of the super Sunday will see two teams in the top half of the league, battle out to confirm their position in the playoffs of this season’s Indian Premier League (IPL). Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will take on the Rajasthan Royals (RR) at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai.
Both teams are coming to this game on the back of big losses on the hands of potential playoff contenders. LSG and RR are in a good position at the start of this match for the playoffs but a win for either side might confirm their place in the playoffs.
Lucknow Super Giants have things to improve as Gautam Gambhir also mentioned in his post-match speech to the team. They shouldn’t have been outplayed by the Gujrat Titans where they were bundled out for just 82 and lost the match by 64 runs.
Rajasthan Royals first need to win a toss badly as skipper Sanju Samson is having the worst season in terms of winning tosses. They also need Jos Buttler to fire them to the win like he has done earlier. Bowling has been very lethal for Rajasthan and they would hope that Yuzvendra Chahal can get back the purple cap to their camp.
