Preview:

The 36th match of IPL 2025 will see Rajasthan Royals (RR) square off against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Saturday, April 19, at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur. With both teams eager to turn their fortunes around, this game promises to be an exciting clash.

Rajasthan Royals after a heartbreaking loss to Delhi Capitals in a Super Over, have now suffered five defeats in their last seven games. With just two wins to their name, the Sanju Samson-led side is struggling to stay in contention for a playoff spot.

Despite being in a good position to chase down 189 runs in their last match, they faltered in the final stages. RR will be desperate to snap their losing streak and reignite their campaign with a much-needed win against LSG.

On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants are in a more favorable position, with four victories from their seven games so far. However, LSG too are coming off a five-wicket loss to Chennai Super Kings in their previous match.

With both teams looking to get back to winning ways, the contest is expected to be a high-stakes battle.
