RRvs LSG IPL 2025 match preview: The Rajasthan Royals(RR) will face the Lucknow Super Giants(LSG) in the match 36 of the Indian Premier League 2025. The match will be held at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur today at 7:30 PM IST. Both teams have a variable performance in the IPL 2025 season and have won less than five matches out of the seven played. Both RR and LSG stand in the lower half of the IPL 2025 points table as fans await a redemption era for their team.
In their last match, both teams overcame their last defeat. Rajasthan Royals suffered a defeat against the Delhi Capitals in its last match, losing in a thrilling super over finish. It was a devastating loss, as RR failed to chase down only nine runs in the last over. Now, the team stands at the eight positions in the IPL 2025 points table with two wins and five losses in seven matches.
Meanwhile, Lucknow Super Giants lost their previous match against five-time champion Chennai Super Kings(CSK) by five wickets. However, CSK has shown steepingly poor performance as they stand last in the IPL 2025 leaderboard. In the point table, LSG team secured fifth position with four wins and three losses of the seven matches with a net run rate of +0.086.
The Sawai Mansingh Stadium is known for its balanced nature of favoring both batsmen and bowlers depending on the condition. In today’s match, both the bowling and attacking lineups can shine on the pitch. According to facts, Rajasthan only managed a 173 total in a losing defense against RCB in the only game it played at the stadium this season. For today’s match, the teams are likely to opt to bat first if they win the toss. The Jaipur pitch has favoured the chasers in the past matches this season given the conditions and team forms. However, Lucknow Super Giants have shown a preference for defending totals, making it likely they’ll choose to bat first if given the opportunity.
The temperature in Jaipur as per AccuWeather is expected to reach up to 41 degrees today, making for an intensely hot day. However, the game is scheduled to start at 7:30 PM IST, so players and fans can expect relatively cooler conditions by the game time. Fortunately, there is no rain in the forecast, ensuring an uninterrupted contest between RR and LSG.
