IPL 2022 | LSG vs RR | Match 63 Preview, Prediction, Probable XI, CREX XI

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will look to climb up the stairs of qualification when they take on Rajasthan Royals in the 63rd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 on 15th May (Sunday) at the Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai.  


Lucknow Super Giants have 16 points from 12 matches, and a win on Sunday will help the KL Rahul-led side get a tag of 'Q', and they can join the table-toppers in the knockouts. 


While the likes of Quinton de Kock, Deepak Hooda and KL Rahul have been their top scorers for the team, their bowling attack has done the damage for them. They were completely outplayed by the Gujarat Titans in their most recent fixture and must have taken learnings from the previous game.  


Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, have 14 points from 12 matches and are currently third in the points table. A win in this match will take them to 16 points, and that is what makes it a must-win encounter for the Royals. 


If they lose it, it will eventually put them in a must-win scenario for their last league match. With two valuable points up for grabs, both teams should give their best in what promises to be a thrilling encounter in Mumbai. 


Match Details


Match: Lucknow Super Giants vs Kolkata Knight Riders, Match 63

Venue: Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai

Date & Time: 15th May at 7:30 PM IST & Local Time

Pitch Report: The pitch at Brabourne Stadium has been pretty supportive to the batters in the last few days, and the same trend is expected to be followed on Sunday. The pacers are likely to find enough pace and bounce from the pitch, and as the game progresses, spinners will come into the picture. The team winning the toss might look to bowl first. Anything over 185 runs would be a safe score for the team batting first.

Cricket Netherlands appoint Ryan Cook as interim coach

The Royal Dutch Cricket Association, on Saturday, announced Ryan Cook as the interim coach of the men's cricket team in place of Ryan Campbell. Cook has previously served as the fielding coach of the Bangladesh men's cricket team, besides working as fielding and assistant coach of the South African U-19 team and the Hobart Hurricanes at the Big Bash League (BBL) in 2018. In a statement released by the Koninklijke Nederlandse Cricket Bond (KNCB), Cook said that he is 'honoured' and 'delighted' to join the set-up and is looking to work closely with players and other members of the support staff. "I am honoured to be joining the team and look forward to working with the players and coaches for the next few months. There is an exciting schedule ahead, and I aim to help the team from strength to strength," said Cook. Cook has been appointed interim coach after regular coach Ryan Campbell suffered cardiac arrest during a family holiday in England earlier this month. The former Australian and Hong Kong International, who represented the former in three ODIs and a couple of T20Is, spent a week in an induced coma at the NHS Royal Stoke University Hospital before finally getting discharged. Campbell was appointed head coach of the Dutch men's team back in 2017, and the KNCB, in their statement, confirmed that they expect the former international cricketer to make a complete recovery and return to the side later in the summer. Interim coach Cook's maiden assignment will be a three-match One-Day International series against the West Indies between May 31 and June 4. Following this, the Dutch will host world champions England for another three-match series from June 17 to 22. This will be followed by a couple of T20Is against New Zealand and three ODIs against Pakistan (August 16-21) in the month of August. These ODI assignments will be crucial for the Netherlands as they aim to improve their position in the ongoing ODI Super League. They are currently languishing at the last spot in the points table, having managed just two victories in ten outings, thus far.
