Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will look to continue the winning streak and avenge the reverse fixture loss when they take on Rajasthan Royals (RR) in match 44 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the BRSABV Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Satuday (April 27).
KL Rahul-led LSG head into the match on the back of a thrilling 6-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings, while Sanju Samson’s RR are fresh from a convincing 9-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians.

LSG rode on an unbeaten century from Marcus Stoinis to pull off the highest successful chase in Chennai against CSK last time out, while RR also rode on an unbeaten ton from Yashasvi Jaiswal to complete the double over MI in their most recent match.
LSG will aim to push for a top four finish by beating the table-toppers RR when the two sides clash for the fifth time in the lucrative league, and clash at the Lucknow venue for the very first time. Here is a look at the head to head numbers of RR vs LSG:
