Match Preview
The 17th edition of the Indian Premier League began in all its glory with reigning champions Chennai Super Kings taking on Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the opening fixture. In the fourth fixture of the tournament, action will move to the Pink City, Jaipur, as they host Lucknow Super Giants in a thriller. Lucknow, who finished third in the previous season will aim for their maiden final appearance this season. Rajasthan Royals, who have only one trophy in their account will enter the season to add another glory.
Toss Prediction
Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants haven’t played much cricket together and came across each other only thrice in the IPL. In those three fixtures, Rajasthan captain Sanju Samson came on top twice in the toss wars whereas the Lucknow skipper was favoured by luck only once. Their last year’s only fixture between them took place at the SMS Stadium, where the home skipper Samson won the toss. Considering this, it would be safe to say that the home ground factor might favour their captain, and therefore, Samson would win the toss.
Win Possibility
As mentioned, RR and LSG have faced each other in only three matches in the Indian Premier League, where the former emerged victorious in two games while SRH clinched victory in one game. Both sides performed decently last year, but they would aim for a better performance this year, and begin the campaign on a victorious note.
Rajasthan Royals have a formidable batting lineup studded with players like Yashasvi Jaiswal, who is in his best form of late. Not only this but players like Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler, and Shimron Hetmyer are also expected to give explosive performances. The bowling squad of the IPL inaugural winners features Ravichandran Ashwin, who will be a great threat to the rivals.
Lucknow Super Giants also come with a powerful batting lineup featuring the duo of KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock. Nicholas Pooran, Deepak Hooda, Kyle Mayers, and other players will back their top-order batters. While RR spinner Adam Zampa’s last-minute withdrawal would have shocked the RR squad, it won’t affect their squad. Royals are likely to outpower their rivals in the forthcoming match and begin the campaign with a win.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The Sawai Man Singh Stadium of Jaipur will witness three exciting clashes in the first phase of the IPL 2024, starting with LSG visiting the Pink City. In the previous season of the tournament, the venue hosted a total of five games and had the first innings average of 172. In the upcoming match, we can expect the first-inning score to be around 160-170 and powerplay to be around 40-50.
