Rajasthan Royals are predicted to beat Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2026 Match 64 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, Jaipur, on May 19, 2026. RR need a win to stay alive in the playoff race, sitting fifth with 12 points after four consecutive defeats.
LSG, already eliminated and stuck at the bottom with just 8 points, are playing for nothing but pride. Home advantage, a desperate need for points, and superior squad depth all tilt this contest heavily in the Rajasthan Royals’ favour.

IPL 2026 Match 64 Odds for RR vs LSG
The betting market doesn’t sugarcoat this one. Rajasthan Royals are clear favourites, and rightfully so.
RR’s win odds hover around 1.60 to 1.72 across platforms. That translates to roughly a 60-65% implied win probability. LSG, eliminated and without consistent form, are priced as underdogs in the 2.15 to 2.30 range.
The toss odds are nearly even. Both skippers know what works at Jaipur: bowl first, chase under dew.

IPL 2026 Match 64 Toss Prediction for RR vs LSG
At the Sawai Mansingh Stadium, the toss decision practically writes itself.
Teams chasing have won approximately 60% of IPL matches at this venue. In the IPL 2026 Season specifically, targets above 220 have been chased down successfully on both occasions they were set here. That tells you everything about how the surface and conditions evolve through the evening.
Dew is the big factor. It typically settles from overs 12 to 15 of the second innings, making the ball slippery for bowlers and harder for spinners to grip. For a ground with big mid-wicket boundaries where spinners play a crucial role, that’s a game-changer.
Both Riyan Parag and Rishabh Pant will want to field first.
Toss Prediction: The toss winner will opt to field first.
RR Predicted Playing XI for IPL 2026 Match 64
RR are in a must-win situation with two league games remaining. After four consecutive losses, including a painful 5-wicket defeat to DC on May 17 where Mitchell Starc took 4/40 to collapse their innings from 161/2 to 193/8, the Royals are desperate to rediscover their early-season form.
Riyan Parag returned from a hamstring niggle in the DC match, scoring a quickfire 51 off 26 balls. That’s a positive sign heading into this game.
The big question is whether RR persist with Vaibhav Sooryavanshi at the top. With 440 runs at a strike rate of 236.55, the teenager has been their most explosive weapon this season.
Predicted XI:
| Rank | Player | Role | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Vaibhav Sooryavanshi | Batter (Opener) | 440 runs, SR 236.55 |
| 2 | Yashasvi Jaiswal | Batter (Opener) | 315 runs, needs a big knock |
| 3 | Dhruv Jurel (wk) | WK-Batter | Steady middle-order anchor |
| 4 | Riyan Parag (c) | Batter | Returned from hamstring niggle, hit 51 vs DC |
| 5 | Shimron Hetmyer | Batter | Power-hitter, key in death overs |
| 6 | Donovan Ferreira | All-rounder | Handy finisher |
| 7 | Ravindra Jadeja | All-rounder | 190 runs + 8 wickets this season |
| 8 | Jofra Archer | Bowler | 15 wickets, took 3/20 vs LSG last time |
| 9 | Ravi Bishnoi | Bowler | RR’s top wicket-taker this season |
| 10 | Nandre Burger | Bowler | Pace support |
| 11 | Brijesh Sharma | Bowler | Took 2/44 vs DC |
| 12 (Impact) | Tushar Deshpande / Shubham Dubey | Bowler / Batter | Situational pick based on toss |
Key Talking Point: Jofra Archer dismantled LSG’s top order with 3/20 in their last meeting on April 22 in Lucknow. He has taken a wicket off the first ball in three matches this IPL. LSG’s batters will be wary.
LSG Predicted Playing XI for IPL 2026 Match 64
LSG are already eliminated from the playoff race, confirmed after their loss to CSK on May 11. But they showed fight in their last outing, beating CSK by 7 wickets on May 15 with a monstrous Mitchell Marsh knock of 90 off 38 balls.
Marsh is in devastating form. His 342 runs at a strike rate of 154 across recent matches make him LSG’s biggest threat. The opening partnership of Marsh and Josh Inglis produced a 135-run stand against CSK, and they will look to replicate that aggression.
The concern for LSG is their middle-order fragility. Rishabh Pant has managed just 251 runs this season with a strike rate of 138.67. Nicholas Pooran has been equally inconsistent.
Predicted XI:
| Rank | Player | Role | Note |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mitchell Marsh | Batter (Opener) | 342 runs, SR 154, smashed 90 vs CSK |
| 2 | Josh Inglis (wk) | WK-Batter (Opener) | SR 257.89 in recent innings |
| 3 | Nicholas Pooran | Batter | Inconsistent, but explosive on his day |
| 4 | Rishabh Pant (c) | WK-Batter | 251 runs, SR 138.67 |
| 5 | Aiden Markram | All-rounder | Useful off-spin, solid middle-order bat |
| 6 | Akshat Raghuwanshi | Batter | Young talent is getting opportunities |
| 7 | Shahbaz Ahmed | All-rounder | Left-arm spin and handy bat |
| 8 | Mohammed Shami | Bowler | 20 wickets in 15 career matches vs RR |
| 9 | Prince Yadav | Bowler | 16 wickets this season, Econ 8.17 |
| 10 | Mohsin Khan | Bowler | 10 wickets, Econ 7.45, dismissed RR’s top 3 in one spell |
| 11 | Akash Singh | Bowler | Took 3/26 vs CSK |
| 12 (Impact) | Avesh Khan / Himmat Singh | Bowler / Batter | Based on the match situation |
Key Threat: Mohsin Khan put RR at 32/3 in just 4 overs the last time these two sides met. His left-arm pace and ability to move the new ball could be dangerous in Jaipur’s early-movement conditions.
Sawai Mansingh Stadium Pitch Report IPL 2026
The Sawai Mansingh Stadium is not your typical high-scoring IPL venue. It demands patience, timing, and smart cricket.
Surface: The pitch offers a balanced contest between bat and ball. Early movement is available for fast bowlers, especially under lights. The surface then slows down in the middle overs, giving spinners grip and turn.
Average Score: The average first-innings score in IPL 2026 at this venue sits around 170 to 180 runs. A competitive total here is 175 to 190. Anything above 190 becomes very difficult to chase.
Boundaries: The mid-wicket boundary is one of the longest among IPL venues, measuring roughly 75 metres. That means big sixes require proper timing, not just raw power.
Pace vs Spin: Fast bowlers find early assistance, but spinners dominate the middle overs (overs 7 to 15). Ravi Bishnoi and Ravindra Jadeja will be crucial for RR in this phase.
Key Factor: The dew factor is decisive. Dew settles from overs 12 to 15 of the second innings, making the ball slippery and reducing spin effectiveness. This is why chasing is strongly preferred.
Highest Score in IPL 2026 at this venue: 229/5 by SRH.

RR hold the overall edge at 5-2 in this rivalry that began in IPL 2022.
But here’s the twist. At Sawai Mansingh Stadium specifically, LSG have won 2 of their 3 visits. So RR’s home fortress isn’t quite as safe against this particular opponent.
Last 5 Matches:
| Match | Date | Winner | Margin | Venue |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IPL 2026 (Match 32) | April 22, 2026 | RR | 40 runs | Ekana Stadium, Lucknow |

| IPL 2024 | 2024 | RR | 20 runs | Sawai Mansingh, Jaipur |
| IPL 2023 | 2023 | LSG | 10 runs | Ekana Stadium, Lucknow |
Rivalry Highlights Worth Knowing:
- Sanju Samson (now at CSK) is the all-time leading run-scorer in this fixture with 200+ runs at an average of 66.67.
- Trent Boult leads all bowlers in this rivalry with 8 wickets, including a decisive last-over defense in the very first meeting in 2022.
- LSG’s 2 wins at Jaipur both came against the run of play. RR have historically struggled to close out games at home against this opposition.
- Mohammed Shami has 20 wickets in 15 career matches against RR, making him statistically the most dangerous LSG bowler in this fixture.
Our Prediction: Rajasthan Royals Have Better Chances to Win Against Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2026 Match 64
Bottom line: Rajasthan Royals win, chasing a target in the 170 to 185 range.
Why RR Can Win
The playoff desperation is real. RR has lost four in a row and sits fifth with 12 points. A loss here makes their path to the top four incredibly complicated. History tells us that IPL teams fighting for survival at home tend to find an extra gear.
Jofra Archer owns this matchup. His 3/20 in the last meeting dismantled LSG’s batting order. With the new ball in Jaipur offering early movement, Archer could be devastating again in the powerplay.
Vaibhav Sooryavanshi at home is a terrifying prospect for any bowling attack. The teenager has scored 440 runs at a strike rate of 236.55 this season. At Jaipur, where he knows every inch of the outfield, expect fireworks.
Ravi Bishnoi and Jadeja on this surface is the combination most bowling attacks would fear. The Jaipur pitch grips for spinners in the middle overs, and these two have been RR’s most effective wicket-taking duo in that phase.
Why LSG Can Win
Mitchell Marsh is in freakish form. His 90 off 38 balls against CSK showed he’s playing some of the best T20 cricket of his career. If Marsh survives the powerplay, the long Jaipur boundaries won’t save RR.
Mohsin Khan’s Jaipur record cannot be ignored. He dismissed RR’s top three in a single spell the last time they played. Left-arm pace with early movement on this surface is a genuine weapon.
LSG have won 2 of 3 at Jaipur. History favours them at this specific ground, even if the overall head-to-head doesn’t. Teams playing without pressure sometimes play the freest cricket.
Final Verdict
RR win by 15 to 25 runs (if batting first) or chase down the target with 8 to 12 balls remaining (if batting second).
The logic is straightforward. RR have the better squad depth, the home crowd behind them, the playoff motivation, and crucially, the bowling firepower of Archer, Bishnoi, and Jadeja to choke LSG’s inconsistent middle order. LSG’s top-order heroics from Marsh and Inglis can keep them competitive, but their batting depth beyond the top four has been a season-long weakness.
Expect Vaibhav Sooryavanshi to be the star of the show if RR chase. If they bat first, Jadeja’s all-round contribution with both bat and ball could be the difference.
This prediction is based on publicly available squad data, injury reports, venue stats, and historical records as of May 18, 2026. Official playing XIs will be confirmed at the toss.
