Lucknow Super Giants, meanwhile, have already been eliminated with just eight points from 12 matches. They do arrive on the back of a morale-boosting seven-wicket win over Chennai Super Kings, with Mitchell Marsh blazing a 38-ball 90. Pride and form are on their agenda.

### Pitch Report — Sawai Mansingh Stadium

The Jaipur surface is a high-scoring paradise — all three matches played here in IPL 2026 have seen first-innings totals exceed 220. However, variable bounce off the spongy black-soil pitch rewards hit-the-deck bowlers. The straight boundaries are shorter, making big hits down the ground easier. Expect a gun battle tonight.
