Match 20 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 will feature two in-from teams in the competition, Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), at the Wankhede stadium in Mumbai on Sunday night. Both teams have hit their straps ight from the start of IPL 2022, which will make this a clash to savour.
Having lost their tournament opener against Gujarat, K.L. Rahul's men bounced back with three back-to-back victories. The Royals, on the other hand, kickstarted their tournament with two big wins but faltered against Royal Challengers Bangalore in their last game while defending 170.
Jos Buttler has been doing an exceptional job at the top, helping Rajasthan pile on the runs. The middle order has supported him well, with the likes of Shimron Hetmyer getting into the strides, being particularly aggressive against spin. Among bowlers, Yuzvendra Chahal's excellent form has been a big plus point for them.
Lucknow's strength lies primarily in their batting. Though Rahul is yet to get a big score this season Quinton de Kock, Deepak Hooda and Ayush Badoni have chipped in quite nicely. With ball, they will yet again depend on Ravi Bishnoi and Avesh Khan to come good on the true Wankhede surface.
