Match Winner

Rajasthan Royals to Win @ 1.70 (1xBet)

Rajasthan Royals head into this fixture as slight favourites. LSG have lost three in a row, struggling for consistency with the bat and in key moments of matches. The Royals look the more settled side overall with better balance across all departments. We back Rajasthan Royals to win this match.

Total Match Sixes

Under 16.5 @ 1.85 (Stake)

The average total match sixes at Ekana Cricket Stadium is just 10 this season, making it one of the lower six-hitting grounds in the competition. Expect a slower surface for this fixture where both teams may struggle to clear the rope with ease. We back the total match sixes to come in well under 16.5.

Best Opening Partnership

Rajasthan Royals to Have a Better Opening Partnership Than LSG @ 1.82 (Parimatch)

Rajasthan Royals' opening pair of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Vaibhav Sooryavanshi are averaging 54.66 runs for the first wicket this season, while the Lucknow Super Giants' openers are averaging just 34 runs. The Royals' openers have been far more consistent and we back them to produce the stronger opening stand in today's fixture.

Why Ekana Cricket Stadium Suits Certain Bet Types

Ekana Cricket Stadium IPL 2026 stats show that this venue rewards bettors who understand its unique conditions. The average total match fours across the last two matches played at this ground this season is 30.5.

LSG are averaging 14.33 fours per match this season, while RR are averaging 14.16. We predict a moderate boundary-scoring contest and back the total match fours to come in under 31.5.

We back the Total Match Fours Under 31.5 @ 1.85 (Stake). The venue data and both teams' current boundary-hitting averages strongly support a more contained fours tally in today's fixture.

The average powerplay score at Ekana Cricket Stadium this season is 48.25 runs — one of the lower averages in the competition.

Rajasthan Royals, by contrast, have been scoring at 12 runs per over in the first six overs, averaging 72 runs, and have scored past 60 runs in four of their last six powerplays.

IPL 2026 session bets at the 10-over mark are among the most profitable markets at Ekana Cricket Stadium. Update picks on match day once the toss is known.

The scoring rate sees a significant dip after the powerplay overs at Ekana Stadium, with teams averaging around 6.5–7 runs per over in the 7–10 over phase and an overall average score at the 10-over mark of around 70–77 runs.

LSG in particular have struggled to maintain momentum after the first six overs, losing their way with an average of three wickets falling between overs 7–10 and scoring only 25–30 runs in that phase.

On average, the Royals are scoring around 95–105 runs at the 10-over mark this season, which is significantly above the venue average.

Our Top 3 Best Bets for LSG vs RR Today

1. Team Fours: LSG Total Fours Under 15.5 @ 1.75 (Stake)

Lucknow Super Giants are averaging 14.33 fours per match this season, and at Ekana Cricket Stadium they average around 14 fours per match. With their batters in poor form across the last three matches and the slower surface at this ground making boundary scoring more difficult, we predict another low boundary tally for LSG in today's fixture.

2. Team Total: Rajasthan Royals Score Over 185.5 (if they bat first) @ 1.85 (Parimatch)

When batting first, Rajasthan Royals consistently post high totals, scoring at around 10–11 runs per over in their 20-over innings. They scored past 185 runs once while batting first this season, posted 150 runs in just 11 overs against Mumbai Indians before the match was reduced, and the only time they fell short was against KKR when they scored 155. Against an inconsistent LSG bowling attack, backing the Royals to post a big total is well supported.

3. Team Sixes: Rajasthan Royals Total Sixes Over 9.5 @ 2.05 (Stake)

Rajasthan Royals are averaging 9 sixes per match this season and have averaged 8 sixes per match against LSG. They are a strong six-hitting side, while LSG have been lacklustre in their last two matches, conceding around 30–35 sixes across those games.
