The Rajasthan Royals (RR) will host the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Match 36 of the IPL 2025 season at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur on Saturday, April 19, with the match commencing at 7:30 PM IST.
RR currently find themselves at the bottom of the IPL 2025 points table, having lost their opening matches. Their recent defeat came against the Delhi Capitals in a Super Over thriller, where Mitchell Starc‘s exceptional bowling turned the game around.
LSG have had a mixed start to their season. They secured a convincing five-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad, thanks to Nicholas Pooran‘s explosive 70 off 26 balls. However, they suffered a setback in their subsequent match against Chennai Super Kings, losing by five wickets.

Sawai Mansingh Stadium Pitch Report
Sawai Mansingh Stadium, a venue renowned for its balanced surface that can favour both batters and bowlers depending on the match conditions. Early in the game, fast bowlers might find some assistance with seam movement, while spinners are likely to make an impact during the middle overs. As the game progresses, the pitch generally becomes more favourable for batting, allowing stroke-makers to play more freely in the second innings. Notably, teams chasing have historically enjoyed a clear edge here, suggesting that the captain winning the toss is likely to opt for bowling first. With the possibility of dew setting in during the latter stages, defending a total could prove to be a tough challenge.
