The Lucknow Super Giants are having a torrid run this season after four losses and two wins to their name so far this season. They next host the inaugural champions, the Rajasthan Royals, in match 32 of Tata IPL 2026 at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. Both teams have had an off time in recent games, making this fixture a battle between two outfits who are desperate to get their way back to winning ways. In this post, we have compiled free expert tips for the 32nd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2026), LSG vs RR, at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow.
Lucknow Super Giants, despite playing at home, won’t be the outright favorites to win this contest. They have had a tough time in this season so far, having lost 4 games, of which three were consecutive. Royals, meanwhile, have had poor outings in their previous two fixtures, losing to Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders. However, they are more confident with their eleven and team combination compared to Lucknow, who look hapless. Therefore, expect the win probability meter to lean in favor of the Royals. Let’s continue with the post and find out the best cricket tips for the 32nd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL 2026), LSG vs RR, at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow.
RR: 57% win chance LSG: 43% win chance
The LSG management and skipper are playing with Markram's opening position in this season. However, still, the Proteas' white-ball skipper has managed to play a good hand with the bat for the side with 162 runs from 6 innings, striking at 160. Expect him to contribute in this game as well.
Surprisingly, Ayush Badoni opened the innings for LSG in the last game against PBKS. He contributed with a 35 off 21 deliveries in a chase of over 254. Badoni hasn't been yielding big scores, but 20-30 is something he is delivering on a consistent basis. Therefore, expect Badoni to do his bit in this game as well.
The RR opener has amassed 223 runs so far in 6 innings in this tournament at a healthy strike-rate of 152.73. He will be a key figure for RR at the top.
The youngster from Bihar has been RR's architect this season with the bat. His explosives at the top has helped RR win games with ease. Having scored 246 runs from 6 innings this season so far at a humongous strike-rate of 236.53, expect Vaibhav to continue with his heroic performance.
Check out our prediction for the LSG vs RR Indian Premier League 2026 match 32.
The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are enduring a torrid run in the Tata IPL 2026, with just two wins from six matches and four defeats, leaving them languishing at 8th place on the points table. Heading into Match 32 at the Ekana Stadium, they desperately need a turnaround after suffering a hat‑trick of losses.
Captain Rishabh Pant has struggled both with the bat and his leadership, while head coach Justin Langer’s strategies have failed to inspire confidence. The team continues to shuffle its lineup without finding the right balance, adding to their woes. Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram have shown glimpses of quality but lack consistency, while Nicholas Pooran’s poor run has been a major setback for the hosts.
Facing the Rajasthan Royals, LSG will need a collective effort to rediscover their rhythm. Playing at home offers them a chance to regroup and find solace, but unless their big names step up, the challenge remains daunting. This fixture could define whether the Super Giants revive their campaign or sink deeper into trouble.
The Rajasthan Royals (RR) head into Match 32 of the Tata IPL 2026 against the struggling Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) with a golden opportunity to bounce back. RR have slipped after two consecutive defeats but remain well-placed at third on the points table, having secured three wins in their last five matches.
In the last five meetings between these sides, RR hold the upper hand with three victories, while LSG have managed two. The Royals’ young openers, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal, have been terrific, consistently providing strong starts. Other batters have chipped in occasionally, but the team’s overall balance has kept them competitive despite recent setbacks.
However, skipper Riyan Parag’s poor form with both bat and ball continues to be a glaring weakness. His lack of impact has frustrated fans season after season, leaving RR reliant on their younger stars and bowling unit to carry the load.
Facing an LSG side stuck in a rut with four losses already, RR have a prime chance to regain momentum. A win here would not only halt their losing streak but also reinforce their credentials as genuine title contenders. Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips.
