RR vs LSG Live: Pitch report

“No tall stands, so there’s a bit of a breeze factor. Pretty substantial breeze that’s blowing across, it might come into play. This is not a dead-centre pitch on this ground. (Square boundaries) 62m short boundary, 68m on the other side, but straight is 70 and upwards (78m). If you’re going to hit straight, make sure you’ve got a lot of power behind the shot. So there’s an incentive to play cross-batted on this pitch. I find this pitch on the harder side. It might be a little bit two-paced as well. There’s a nice covering of grass. It might skid on a little. I don’t think we’ll see a lot of bounce. Doesn’t look like a turner. First half of the game may be something for the spinners. Win the toss, you want to bowl first on this surface.”

RR vs LSG Live: RR pacers is blistering form

Pace spearhead Trent Boult did the job against Delhi Capital by taking those two wickets in the first over to derail their chase. Medium pacer Sandeep Sharma too has used all his experience, taking wickets regularly during his spells.

RR vs LSG Live: RR’s strong spin attack

RR also has some quality spinners, with the trio of Yuzvendra Chahal, Adam Zampa and Ravichandran Ashwin making life difficult for the opposition. It was the spinners who had won them the match against Chennai Super Kings. 

RR vs LSG Live: RR’s brilliant win over GT

When the duo of Jaiswal and Buttler failed the other day against GT, skipper Samson rose to the occasion, bailing out the team with a 32-ball 60 as West Indian Shimron Hetmyer completed the job with a 26-ball 56.

RR vs LSG Live: Fiery batters of RR

RR possess a formidable batting line-up with the likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Jos Buttler and Sanju Samson ensuring that the side has a good start and has enough runs in the powerplay. While Buttler, with 204 runs has been their highest run-scorer, Jaiswal has struck at 149.45 during his 136 runs so far in the IPL.

RR vs LSG Live: LSG’s pace department

Among the fast bowlers, LSG possess the fiery pace of Mark Wood and Avesh Khan. Yudhvir Singh Charak too will look to carry on his good run after a sensational two-wicket haul on debut against Punjab.

RR vs LSG Live: LSG’s strong batting line-up

Lucknow have no dearth of power in their batting, with Kyle Mayers at the top and Nicholas Pooran and Marcus Stoinis in the middle capable of pulverising any opposition. While Mayers did his job in the powerplay, he, perhaps, needs to think about building partnerships after the first six overs, especially with Deepak Hooda struggling to get runs at the top.

RR vs LSG Live: LSG got defeated by PBKS

In the last match against the Punjab Kings, Lucknow couldn’t get enough runs in the middle overs, leaving them 10-15 runs short in the end. While KL Rahul returning to form with a sizzling 56-ball 74 is a big positive, LSG will rue the scoring opportunities they squandered in the middle overs.
