LSG will also aim to better their position in the points table. Both of the teams have a quality line-up and so an exciting contest is on the cards.
Rajasthan Royals are coming into the contest on the back of a four-wicket loss against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Jos Buttler has been in terrific form for the team and he scored unbeaten 70 runs from 47 balls. RR have a formidable line-up and everything is working well for them.
