Weather Forecast

There will be a cloud cover during the whole game which can help seamers get some swing and seam movement early on. 

Pitch Report

Rajasthan Royals are all set to play their home game on their second home venue in IPL 2023 which brings new excitement and a great opportunity to continue their dominance in the Points table. Sawai Mansingh Stadium is not a very high-scoring venue as both pacers and spinners have enjoyed bowling here and with cloudy conditions we expect 165 runs in the first innings can be a good score to defend here. 

RR vs LSG Match 26 Probable Playing XIs

Kyle Mayers has continued to get the management’s approval as an opener even though they got Quinton de Kock sitting on the bench and it is expected he won’t get an opportunity to play this Match 26 either from LSG. 

Royals are expected to follow the same pattern regarding the Impact Player’s Rule as they have subbed out a batter for a bowler so far in the games they have played but Padikkal and Parag haven’t had much of an impact so far so they may look to make a tactical move for this RR vs LSG Match 26 to bring in Joe Root as RR does have left-handed batters and Root off-spin can do some damage. 

We predict LSG to go back to Ayush Badoni as their impact player in case LSG is defending the total while chasing they will sub out a bowler to bring in an additional batter in the lower middle over to further strengthen their chances. 

Below are the RR vs LSG Match 26 probable playing XIs for both bat & ball first scenarios. 

Rajasthan Royals:

Probable bat-first XI: 1 Yashasvi Jaiswal, 2 Jos Butter, 3 Sanju Samson (capt & wk), 4 Devdutt Padikkal, 5 Riyan Parag, 6 Shimron Hetmyer, 7 Dhruv Jurel 8 R Ashwin, 9 Adam Zampa 10 Trent Boult, 11 Yuzvendra Chahal

Probable field-first XI: 1 Yashasvi Jaiswal, 2 Jos Butter, 3 Sanju Samson (capt & wk), 4 Riyan Parag, 5 Shimron Hetmyer, 6 Dhruv Jurel 7 R Ashwin, 8 Adam Zampa 9 Trent Boult, 10 Yuzvendra Chahal, 11 Sandeep Sharma

Lucknow Super Giants:

Possible bat-first XI: 1 KL Rahul (capt), 2 Kyle Mayers, 3 Deepak Hooda, 4 Krunal Pandya, 5 Nicholas Pooran (wk), 6 Marcus Stoinis, 7 Ayush Badoni, 8 K Gowtham, 9 Ravi Bishnoi, 10 Avesh Khan, 11 Mark Wood

Possible bowl-first XI: 1 KL Rahul (capt), 2 Kyle Mayers, 3 Deepak Hooda, 4 Krunal Pandya, 5 Nicholas Pooran (wk), 6 Marcus Stoinis, 7 K Gowtham, 8 Ravi Bishnoi, 9 Avesh Khan, 10 Mark Wood, 11 Yudhvir Singh/Amit Mishra

RR vs LSG Match 26 Dream11 Prediction

Below is our best possible RR vs LSG Match 26 Dream11 team selected by our fantasy expert after deeply analyzing both the team’s squads. 

Wicket-Keeper – Jos Butler, Sanju Samson 

Batsmen – Lokesh Rahul (c), Shimron Hetmyer, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Deepak Hooda

All-rounders – Kyle Mayers, Krunal Pandya 

Bowlers – Yuzvendra Chahal, Trent Boult, Mark Wood (vc)

We have gone with KL Rahul as our captain considering the impact he can bring in interms of grand leagues while Mark Wood is our vice-captain as Sawai Mansingh Stadium does have something available for the pacers and with his rapid pace he can be a tough bowler to deal with on tricky conditions early on with 80% cloud cover.
