Riyan Parag’s Rajasthan Royals will be going against Rishabh Pant’s Lucknow Super Giants in match 32 of the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League at the Ekana Cricket Stadium.
Both franchises are going into Wednesday’s fixture in Lucknow after losing multiple matches. On Sunday, April 19, Punjab Kings defeated Lucknow Super Giants by 54 runs in New Chandigarh, while RR lost to Kolkata Knight Riders by 4 wickets at Eden Gardens.
With just 4 points from six matches played so far, LSG are 9th in the IPL 2026 points table. They cannot afford to make any more mistakes. However, after dropping their last two games, the Royals would also prefer to get back on track.
LSG vs RR Pitch Report
The Ekana Cricket Stadium’s pitch generally provides a fair game between bat and ball. Bowlers, particularly those who rely on variations, stay firmly in the game, and batters who put in the effort can record competitive totals even though stroke-making is not always effortless. Here, the toss is still very important, with captains choosing to chase. Teams batting second won six of the eight games played at this venue last season.
