This match, billed as a showdown between the top two, promises exhilarating action.

Rajasthan Royals (RR) received a reality check from Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), who defeated them by a score of 10 runs in the IPL 2023 match on Wednesday in Jaipur. Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal pursued a reasonable 155 while remaining conservative, but their 87-run opening wicket haul gave Rajasthan a commanding lead. Then Marcus Stoinis replaced Yashasvi for 44(35), which caused Rajasthan to completely crumble. The equation slipped to 19 in the penultimate over as the hosts continued to lose wickets quickly. Avesh bowled a fantastic last over, striking twice and giving up just 8 runs to keep Rajasthan at 144/6 after 20 overs. Earlier, after inviting Lucknow to bat, the hosts were able to hold them to 154/7 thanks to the effective bowling of R Ashwin and Trent Boult. In his four overs, Ashwin took two wickets and allowed 23 runs while Boult allowed 16 runs and took one wicket. Even though Kyle Mayers scored a half-century, it happened rather slowly.
