RR lead this series 5-2 overall but this is a trickier home game than the price suggests.

LSG have won two of three at this ground and RR have won just one of three at home this season. This is the same pitch where Sooryavanshi hit a 37-ball century but RR still lost with nine balls to spare to SRH. Dew has been a major factor in second innings here and the chasing side has won four of the last five matches at this venue.

RR are in desperate trouble. Three straight losses, Jadeja doubtful, Jaiswal with one score of substance in his last five innings and a home record that offers no comfort.

LSG have nothing to lose, are playing with freedom and have Shami at his best in the powerplay. Their top order has finally clicked with Marsh in form and Pooran rediscovering his touch at No. 3.

No confidence here but stick with the home side.

Sooryavanshi has 440 runs this season at a strike rate of 237 and hit a century on this very ground against SRH. Against an LSG bowling attack that has been strong in the powerplay but more hittable through the middle, he is the pick to launch in a must-win match.

Shami has the best powerplay economy in the competition and loves this venue, having taken three wickets here in the reverse fixture earlier this season. Jaiswal has been dismissed in the powerplay in seven of twelve innings this season and is badly out of form. If Shami removes him and Sooryavanshi early, he could prove the match-winner.
