LSG vs RR: IPL 2026 Match 32 Preview, Tips, and Predictions

The IPL 2026 showdown between Lucknow Super Giants and Rajasthan Royals kicks off on April 22 at 7:30 PM IST at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium. With Rajasthan sitting pretty in third place and Lucknow struggling down in ninth, this clash is more than just points on the board; it’s a chance for redemption for the Super Giants.

Rajasthan's Vaibhav Suryavanshi is the one to watch after his stunning century against Gujarat Titans and a total of 246 runs in six matches. Alongside him, Yashasvi Jaiswal has also been in fine form, racking up 223 runs. For Lucknow, Rishabh Pant needs to steer the ship—his 147 runs include a top score of 68, but he needs support from the likes of Aiden Markram, who’s been solid with 162 runs.

In their last outings, Lucknow faced a disappointing defeat against Punjab Kings, while Rajasthan stumbled against Kolkata Knight Riders. Historically, Rajasthan leads the head-to-head with four wins out of six encounters, and they'll be looking to extend that dominance. Expect a batting-friendly pitch, where teams might aim for a score of around 175, but with a poor chase win percentage, Lucknow will need to set a solid total.

As for the Dream11 teams, consider captaining Jaiswal or Suryavanshi, with Pant and Markram as your vice-captains. Keep an eye on budget picks like Mohsin Khan and Riyan Parag for some value in your fantasy teams. This match is crucial for Lucknow’s hopes in the league, while Rajasthan aims to keep their momentum going. Who will rise to the occasion?
