In impressive form throughout the season, Lucknow Super Giants would look to bounce back from their previous match defeat and register a win to confirm their IPL play-offs berth when they face another aspirants, Rajasthan Royals, at the Brabourne Stadium on Sunday.


LSG were on top of IPL points table with four wins on the trot before relinquishing that position after losing to Gujarat Titans in their previous match.


The KL Rahul-led side, which is now at second spot with 16 points, would not want to lose another game just before the start of the knockout round.


The Royals would also look to make amends for their all-round failure in their comprehensive eight-wicket defeat at the hands of Delhi Capitals in their last match.

With 16 points from 12 matches, a win for LSG on Sunday will confirm their play-offs berth. For the Royals too, a victory will take them on the verge of securing a last-four stage spot. Captain Rahul and his opening partner Quinton de Kock will have to score the bulk of runs once again for LSG. 

Both fell cheaply against the Titans and they would look to bounce back against the Royals. Rahul, the tournament’s second most prolific batter with 459 runs from 12 matches, has been in impressive form with two centuries and as many half centuries.
