RR has struggled to find momentum this season, sitting at the 8th spot on the points table with only 2 wins from 7 matches. The Sanju Samson-led side has been ordinary in all areas, especially bowling, and continues to search for the ideal combination. For RR, this match is crucial to keeping their playoff hopes alive.
On the other hand, LSG is looking to bounce back after a close loss to Chennai Super Kings by 5 wickets. Despite this setback, LSG has performed decently overall, with 4 wins from 7 games, placing them at 5th on the table. A victory here could propel them back into the top 4.

As per Stake.com, both teams have the same odds. But as per our prediction, we are backing Lucknow Super Giants to win the RR vs LSG IPL Prediction match based on their current form. Check the win probability of the two teams below.
Now let’s move ahead and check how the players are expected to perform.
Nicholas Pooran has been a class apart this season. The man with the orange cap has scored as many as 5 fifties in just 7 games. Therefore, one can expect him to score above 29.5 on a batting-friendly wicket. BET at: 1.83
The RR opener has scored 3 fifties so far this season and is fresh off a fifty from the last game. He has returned to form and can be a good bet to score runs in this game as well. BET at: 1.83
Mitchell Marsh has had his best IPL season ever. Scoring 4 fifties in this season already, Marsh has been at the top of his game and is a good bet in this game. BET at: 1.83
LSG skipper Rishabh Pant finally scored a fifty in the last game but looked rusty during his innings. Scoring above 21.5 could be tricky for Rishabh Pant, so this bet remains 50-50. BET at: 1.83
Ravi Bishnoi finally showed his potential in the last game against CSK. He picked up 2 wickets in just 3 overs and will be a crucial cog in this game as well. BET at: 6
Jofra Archer is the leading wicket-taker for RR this season, thus far. Archer has looked clinical at times but has lacked consistency. However, if you want to take a risk, bet on Archer. BET at: 6
RR’s top order, comprising Jaiswal and Samson, is more boundary hitters. On the other hand, LSG batters are more of risk takers. However, you can bet on LSG to hit more fours as they bat deep and have more batters in form.
As stated above, LSG batters are more about power hitting. Therefore, the Lucknow Super Giants are likely to hit more sixes compared to the Rajasthan Royals.
Matches Played: 5 RR won: 4 LSG won: 1 No Result: 0
The hosts, Rajasthan Royals, lead the head-to-head battle with 4 wins to 1 from 5 matches. In the last season, these two teams collided twice, and it was the Rajasthan Royals who emerged triumphant on both occasions.
How the two teams, i.e., Rajasthan Royals and Lucknow Super Giants, expected to fare in IPL 2025 Match no. 36? Let’s take a look.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sanju Samson (C/WK), Riyan Parag, Nitish Rana, Dhruv Jurel, Shimron Hetmyer, Wanindu Hasaranga, Jofra Archer, Maheesh Theekshana/Kwena Mapakha, Sandeep Sharma, Tushar Deshpande/Akash Madhwal IMPACT PLAYERS: Shubham Dubey, Kumar Kartikeya

The pitch at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur is a paradise for batters, offering plenty of opportunities to score freely. While it is generally flat and conducive to high-scoring games, the last match here between RR and RCB showed a slight variation, with the ball gripping the surface during the afternoon session of the first innings. However, with this game being played in the evening, such conditions are unlikely. Both teams will be eager to capitalize on the batter-friendly pitch and put up big scores. Also, it would be interesting to see if dew plays a role in the second innings.
The maximum temperature on Saturday is expected to be hovering somewhere around 40 degrees Celsius during the day. Evening might be a bit cooler as the temperature might fall to 36 degrees. No rain is in the forecast throughout the day.
Generally, on a good batting wicket, teams prefer to chase. With a target set in your sights, it is easy to plan the chase. Therefore, expect the team winning the toss to bowl first.

As per the odds provided by different bookies, both teams stand a 50-50 chance of winning this encounter. However, as per our IPL prediction and free expert tips, we are backing the visitors, Lucknow Super Giants, led by Rishabh Pant, to win this contest. This is because RR has now lost three in a row, and they are lacking depth in both their batting and bowling. On the other hand, despite a blip in the last game, LSG still looks to be a more settled unit.
