Lucknow Super Giants vs Rajasthan Royals, 63rd Match Preview and prediction

Preview by Prakhar

The overview

"It's not a bad thing to lose. It's definitely okay. One team wins, one loses. But there were many mistakes in giving up. I think I was weak today. To be honest, Lucknow now. The giant with a supermarket told the players in the locker room that mentor Gotam Gambir lost 62 points to IPL rookie Gujarat Titans players. Severe Gambir challenges the players. Rahul and the company are seen bowing when asked to confront.

Gambir's words are a big blow to players who are eager to win when they face Rajasthan Royals in the penultimate league match. The LSG will secure a top two finish and further motivate the team if it wins one in the upcoming next round and defeats the Rajasthan Royals. In the case of RR, you can survive the storm by winning the following two games. If so, you could finish in the top two. Therefore, since they lost three of the last four games, they also consider playing some consistency with the "A" game.

LSG's main concern is intermediate orders. If the Rahul or Quinton de Kock score exceeds 40, this will happen 8 times, but the LSG will continue to win the game. However, LSG lost three games in a row in three games where both sides failed in the first game, highlighting the need to strengthen the mid-learners. Meanwhile, Jos Buttler has missed a run in the last three games, and Sangju Samson has scored more than 50 points only once in the last five games. RR wants two major batters to give birth, especially with the return of Simron Hetomie, who had his first child.

When: Sunday, May 15 at 19:30 IST

Where: Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai

What to expect: In the last three games played at this venue, 200 was defeated twice by the first team to hit. The tracking team lost the last three games here and MI was able to defend 177 games against Titan. Of the more than 26,190 games played this season, nine were played at Braborn Stadium. This includes a total of seven over 200 at the venue, or nearly 50% of the total over 15,200 released by IPL so far.
