A battle for the top four is on the cards in the Indian Premier League season when the Rajasthan Royals (4th) face the Lucknow Super Giants (5th) on Saturday afternoon. RR have already beaten LSG this season, and our match prediction is for the hosts to do the double over their opponents.
The Rajasthan Royals have been struggling for consistency of late, alternating between wins and losses in their last four games. Their last match ended in a seven-wicket defeat to the Delhi Capitals at this venue last Friday.
Although that match ended in disappointment, the Royals scored 225/6, marking the fifth time they have surpassed the 200-run mark in the competition. Their batting unit is led by Vaibhav Sooryavanshi with 404 runs, while Jofra Archer is their leading wicket-taker with 15 scalps.
Meanwhile, after back-to-back defeats a couple of weeks ago, the Gujarat Titans have reeled off three wins in a row, with the most recent being a four-wicket victory over the Punjab Kings. They are now one of the four teams level on 12 points in the competition.
Jason Holder starred with 4/24 in the last match, while Kagiso Rabada is GT’s leading wicket taker with 16 in 10 games. Sai Sudharsan (385) and Shubman Gill (378) are sixth and ninth in the Orange Cap standings after 10 and nine matches, respectively.

If the Royals’ devastating top order can find its form, they will be tough to beat. Our Rajasthan Royals vs Gujarat Titans prediction is Rajasthan Royals wins.
