With three playoff spots still undecided, every game has become crucial, especially for RR, who are currently placed sixth in the standings.  IPL 2026 Match 64, RR sv LSG: LIVE SCORE | FULL SCORECARD | LIVE STREAMING

 

A win for Rajasthan could take them back into the top four and keep their hopes of finishing on 16 points alive. Much of their success once again depends on the top order, while skipper Riyan Parag finding form at the right time has provided a timely boost. However, their fragile middle order continues to be a major issue after a dramatic collapse in the previous match. Their bowling unit, too, has struggled for consistency, with Jofra Archer being the lone reliable performer.

 

 

Lucknow Super Giants may already be out of the playoff race, but they still have plenty to play for. Fresh from a morale-boosting win over Chennai Super Kings, LSG will aim to continue their momentum and avoid finishing at the bottom of the table.

 

Now, before the two sides finally take the field, let’s take a look at the captaincy record of both skippers, their expected playing 11 combinations, and key player match-ups for the game.
