Lucknow Super Giants vs Rajasthan Royals Prediction - IPL 2022 Match 63: Who Will Win?

Lucknow Super Giants Team Preview

The Lucknow Super Giants are sitting in second place in the table with 16 points to their name, and know that one win from their remaining two games will be enough to book themselves a spot in the Play-Offs. They have a Net Run Rate of +0.385, which is pretty healthy, and this could be worth an extra point should they finish level on points with the Delhi Capitals, who are currently in fifth.

Their last game of the tournament was against the Gujurat Titans, and it is a match that they will want to put firmly behind them because they lost by a massive 62 runs and were bowled out with six overs still left to be played. The GT won the toss and opted to bat first, and they managed to score 144 runs from their 20 overs. Shubman Gill was the top scorer for his team, scoring 63 from 49 balls, while David Miller and Rahul Tewatia chipped in with 26 and 22 runs each.

Avesh Khan was the pick of the bowlers for the LSG, picking up 2 wickets for 26 runs from the 4 overs that he bowled. Mohsin Khan also bowled well in this match, picking up a wicket and conceding just 18 from his 4 overs, while Jason Holder picked up a wicket and conceded 41 runs with an economy of 10.25.

Online cricket betting is something that has been really popular, and one reason why it has become this popular is the fact that cricket bettors have such a variety of markets that they can put their money on. In our view, and you are welcome to disagree, one of the best markets for when you are cricket betting is the Top Bowler since the odds that are on offer are always very enticing, meaning that there is a great profit to be made if you predict correctly.

So, who do we believe will be the Top Bowler for the LSG against the RR? Well, M. Khan has been bowling pretty well as of late, so we think that is a good bet to be the Top Bowler. In the 6 matches that he has played in, he has picked up 10 wickets at an average of 10.90, so we are pretty sure you will have a good chance of making a profit if you place a bet on him to take the most wickets for his team.

With just 144 runs to chase down, the LSG would have been confident of winning the match and booking their spot in the Play-Offs, but they batted extremely poorly and ended up being bowled out for just 82 runs. Deepak Hooda was their top scorer with 27 runs from 26, while Quinton de Kock and A. Khan were the only two other players to get into double figures. It was a really poor batting display from the LSG, but it should be just a blip.

If you are going to do a spot of IPL betting on the top batsman for the LSG against the RR, then who would we suggest you place a wager on? Well, we would tell you to go for Lokesh Rahul as he has scored 459 runs at an average of 45.90 from the 12 matches that he has played. So, putting money on him to top score once again, would definitely not be a bad idea.

Do we think that the LSG will make any changes to their playing XI for this match? Well, apart from their previous poor result, they have been playing well for most of the tournament with the same set of players, so we do not think that they will make knee-jerk reactions after one bad loss. We expect to see the same XI take to the field against the RR.

Rajasthan Royals Team Preview

The Rajasthan Royals are sitting in third place in the table with 14 points from the 12 matches that they have played in, and they know that one more win should be more than enough to book themselves a slot in the Play-Offs. It would be quite unfortunate to reach 16 points and still not qualify for the Play-Offs. In their last game, they took on the DC, and they lost the match by eight wickets. The DC won the toss and opted to field first, so it was up to the RR to put a decent score on the board. From their 20 overs they managed to score 160, which was a score that proved to be below par on the wicket they were playing on.

The Top Scorer for the RR was Ravi Ashwin, who scored 50 off 38 balls, while Devdutt Padikkal scored 48 from 30 runs. Jos Buttler, who has been one of the stars of the tournament to date, had a rare failure, scoring 7 from 11, while there was also nothing of note from the likes of Sanju Samson and Riyan Parag.

If you are going to bet on a top scorer for the RR at one of your favourite IPL betting sites, then who would we suggest you bet on? Well, you surely cannot go wrong by putting your money on Buttler. The England international has smashed 625 runs in 12 matches and has an average of 56.82 and a strike rate just under 150.00. If you bet on him, then you definitely have a good chance of making a profit.

With only 160 runs on the board, the RR knew that they would have to bowl well, but they ended up doing exactly the opposite. When they got Srikar Bharat out off the second ball of the innings, they would have thought that they were right in the game, but then Mitchell Marsh, who should have been out LBW when on 0, and David Warner put on a partnership of 144 to take the game away from the RR. Marsh scored 89 from 62 balls, while Warner scored 52 from 41.

The best bowler on the day for the RR was Prasidh Krishna, who conceded 20 runs from 3 overs, and had an economy of 6.00. Yuzvendra Chahal, who has been one of the best bowlers in the competition, was expensive, going for 43 runs and picking up just the solitary wicket. Trent Boult will also have been disappointed by his bowling display, and he will want to get back to bowling as well as we know he can.

If you want to make an IPL prediction on the top bowler for the RR against the LSG, then who would we bet on? Well, it is always a good bet to place money on someone who has been consistently performing throughout the tournament, and it is safe to say that Chahal fits into this category. From the 12 games that he has played in, he has picked up 23 wickets at an average of 15.74.

Do we believe that the RR will make any changes to their playing XI for the game against the LSG? Well, much like with the LSG, the RR players have had a pretty good throughout the tournament, so there is no need for them to make any changes to their playing XI.

Toss Prediction

At the beginning of the competition, the side that won the coin toss and decided to field first had a 70% chance of going on to win the match. The reason for this was because the team that fielded second had to try and bowl and field with a slippery ball thanks to the dewy conditions. However, in an interesting turn of events, from the last ten games, the team that has lost the toss has won 60% of the time. There were three occasions where the team that won the coin toss opted to bat first, and they went on to win on all three occasions.

So, with such information at our fingertips, we feel that it is right for our toss prediction to predict that the winning captain will decide to bat first and put a bit score on the board as dew is no longer a problem it seems.

Pitch Conditions

This match will be played at the Brabourne Stadium, which has an average first innings score of 177. The average score in the first innings to win a match has been 199, so the team that bats first will be aiming to hit the 200 run mark or more. The team that has chased at this stadium throughout the 2022 IPL has won 54% of the time, but we do not think that this will persuade the winning captain to field first.
