The Rajasthan Royals will start their campaign in the Indian Premier League 2024 by taking on the Lucknow Super Giants in the 4th game.

The Super Giants lost out in the Eliminator and will also aim for a positive start.
The two sides have met thrice, and the Rajasthan Royals have won two games. They enjoy a good record at this venue and have a strong spin attack that gives them an advantage. The Super Giants won't be a pushover in this game; they have a strong team. We expect a close contest as both sides hunt for a winning start in the season.

Despite a good start, Sanju Samson's side did not go beyond the league stage last season. The team is a batting powerhouse with some of the best strikers in the lineup. The bowling attack let them down in several games, and Samson expected a better show from his bowlers. The Royals' skipper will look to use the home advantage and start the season with a win.
Yashasvi Jaiswal has been in phenomenal form and will look to deliver a strong start in this game along with Jos Buttler. Samson has been the best player in the side for the last couple of seasons, and he will look to add runs in the middle order with Riyan Parag and Rovman Powell. Shimron Hetmyer, Dhruv Jurel, and Ravichandran Ashwin complete a strong batting lineup for the team.
The bowling attack was inconsistent last season, and the team will expect a strong start in this game from Sandeep Sharma and Trent Boult. Ravichandran Ashwin and Yuzvendra Chahal are experienced bowlers and will use the conditions to their advantage. The side will also expect a good show from Parag and Prasidh Krishna in the ing role.

KL Rahul is back in the side after missing most of the games last season due to an injury. His return is a big confidence booster for the team. They have done well in the last two seasons and reached the playoffs in 2023. It will be a tough challenge against the Royals, and Rahul would like his side to play aggressively.
The side will expect a good start at the top from the experienced pair of Quinton de Kock and KL Rahul. They need partnerships between Devdutt Padikkal, Nicolas Pooran, and Deepak Hooda in the middle order, as the side will face a strong bowling attack. Marcus Stoinis and Krunal Pandya add depth to this batting lineup.
The bowlers would feel the heat facing a strong batting lineup. Mohsin Khan and Mark Wood must get the early breakthroughs to put the side in a good position. Ravi Bishnoi was the best bowler for the side last season, and he will look to do well with Pandya and Yash Thakur. Hooda and Shivam Mavi add depth to this attack.

Average TurnSawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, is a batsman's paradise. The wicket has true bounce and pace, allowing batters to hit through the line. The spinners enjoy bowling on this surface as the ball bounces and turns sharply. There isn't much assistance for the fast bowlers unless conditions are perfect.
The last five IPL matches played at Sawai Mansingh Stadium saw an average total score of 314 runs. In the three head-to-head encounters between Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants, the average total score has been 319 runs. Since both teams boast strong bowling attacks and the pitch in Jaipur traditionally favors bowlers, our prediction for today's match is a total combined score under 335.5 runs.
We have seen the side chasing the score win comfortably. The pitch is good to bat on where the ball comes to the bat nicely. Setting up totals on such a track is never easy. The side winning the toss shall have no hesitation in bowling first on this wicket.
Lucknow Super Giants don't have a good record against the Rajasthan Royals. While they have a strong batting lineup, the same isn't true for the side with the ball. The Rajasthan Royals have a quality spin attack, an advantage on this surface. They will have the crowds cheering for them, making them favorites.
