RR vs LSG Today Match Prediction – Who will win today IPL match between Rajasthan vs Lucknow?

Sanju Samson and Rishabh Pant lead their respective sides in a key encounter set to be played in the IPL 2025 season. Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants take on each other at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Saturday’s evening encounter. 

Rajasthan Royals are currently struggling to keep pace with the mid table pack that is slowly starting to pull away. Rahul Dravid’s return to the dugout hasn’t been pleasing so far but with half the season left there is still hope for the Royals side. Loss to Delhi in the super-over would have been a huge setback but Samson will take a lot of positives from the contest. The batting of Shimron Hetmyer and Dhruv Jurel in the latter half of the game will augur well for RR heading into the game on Saturday. 

For Lucknow Super Giants the game in Jaipur gives them a chance to put real pressure on the top four sides. Rishabh Pant and his side need a win to make it to ten points and depending on other results make their foray into the playoff spots. Loss on Saturday will make LSG look over their shoulder with Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians breathing down their necks.

IPL 2025: RR vs LSG,  Match 36—Today’s Match Prediction

Most runs 

Nicholas Pooran has been the best batter so far this season of IPL as he heads the charts. The left-handed batter is considered one of the most feared batters in T20 cricket and his current form does complete justice to that tag. The pitch in Jaipur will be to Pooran’s liking and the small size of the boundary will also come in handy for his big hitting skills. 

Most wickets 

England pacer Jofra Archer has comeback to his best form with the ball in the last few games. After few injury riddled years, Archer has bowled with great pace and has touched 150 KPH on occasions. Over the years, the Sawai Mansingh track has been helpful for the pacers and Jofra Archer’s ability to unsettle the batters could play a key role for RR on Saturday. 

RR vs LSG Player of the match (POTM) prediction 

Mitchell Marsh has been a huge revelation since his move to LSG as the veteran batter has been in brutal form. Marsh will like the conditions on offer and based on his current form could be a key player with the bat. If Marsh gets going early, then Rajasthan Royals bowlers can expect a tough day in the park. The 33-year-old could be a leading candidate for the player of the match award. 

RR vs LSG match prediction: Who will win today's IPL match?

Lucknow Super Giants will start as slight favorites going into their game against the Royals on Saturday. The batting form of Marsh, Aiden Markram, and Pooran along with the bowling talents of Shardul Thakur, Digvesh Rathi, Avesh Khan, and Ravi Bishnoi will hold them in good stead. Rishabh Pant’s return to form will also bolster LSG’s chances of beating RR in their own backyard.
