IPL 2026: Rajasthan Royals beat LSG

Lucknow's batting lineup collapsed while chasing a target of 160, eventually being bowled out for just 119.

Captain Rishabh Pant expressed deep disappointment after his team's fifth defeat in seven matches, citing poor shot selection and a lack of meaningful partnerships.

The Royals' bowling attack, led by Mohammed Shami and Jofra Archer, successfully defended the total on a tricky Ekana pitch.

The result has significantly altered the tournament standings, with Punjab Kings still maintaining their unbeaten streak at the top.

The Super Giants now face a difficult road ahead to secure a spot in the playoffs.
