The home side is going to be led once again by Sanju Samson. Under his captaincy, the Royals missed a playoff berth by a whisker last season as they finished fifth on the table with seven wins and as many losses from 14 games. In fact, the inaugural champions won four out of their first five matches and only three out of their next nine.
Lucknow Super Giants made their debut in IPL 2022 and have managed to qualify for the playoffs in the last two seasons. Last year, they finished third on the points table, tied on points with the Chennai Super Kings. However, the eventual champions played in the Qualifier 1 due to their superior net run rate and the Super Giants had to be content with a spot in the Eliminator. They lost that game to Mumbai Indians and crashed out of the tournament.

Pitch report
The Sawai Mansingh Stadium is a favourable venue for batters. Last year in the IPL, five matches had been played at this stadium. Three games were won by teams batting first, while chasing teams won twice. The average first-innings score was 172. One of the best games of the season was played at this venue on May 7 between Rajasthan Royals and Sunrisers Hyderabad. The visitors chased down a 215-run target as Abdul Samad hit a six off the final delivery. The size of the boundaries are decent and that is one thing that will comfort the bowlers.
