This season has been difficult so far for the Lucknow team led by Rishabh Pant. The team has won only two out of 6 matches and is at ninth position in the points table. Their wins came against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders, but three consecutive defeats have put a brake on the team’s momentum. In such a situation, Lucknow has entered the home ground with the intention of making a comeback.
On the other hand, the Rajasthan team, captained by Riyan Parag, had made a great start and is currently in third place with four wins out of 6. The team, which started the season with four consecutive wins, had to face defeat in the last two matches, which has spoiled their rhythm a bit. Now Rajasthan’s eyes will be on returning to the winning path and strengthening its claim for the playoffs. While it is a ‘do or die’ situation for Lucknow in this match, this match will be an opportunity for Rajasthan to regain its rhythm.
