Lucknow Super Giants vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Team Previews

Lucknow Super Giants

The season of Lucknow Super Giants has been a bit up-down so far. The team has won 5 and lost 6 out of 11 matches. Batsmen like Ayush Badoni, Nicholas Pooran, and Mitchell Marsh are playing an important role for the team. But the collapse of the top order has caused problems in many matches.

Ravi Bishnoi and Mayank Yadav have performed quite well in bowling. Mohsin Khan and Shamar Joseph are also supporting the pace attack. If Lucknow has to reach the playoffs, then they will have to play every match like a final. The team has talent but there is a lack of consistency.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru

Royal Challengers Bengaluru's form is going great. The team has won 8 out of 11 matches. Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, and Jacob Bethell have shown brilliance in batting. From opening to middle order, everyone's contribution has been strong.

Bowling department also looks solid. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Josh Hazlewood are leading the pace attack. Suyash Sharma and Yash Dayal are giving good support in spin. RCB's team is balanced and the momentum is with them. This match will be very crucial for a top two finish.

Till now 19 matches have been played in Ekana stadium in which the team batting second has won a few more matches. The pitch is slow and spinners get some help.

The weather at Lucknow will be hot and humid with very less chances of rain during the match.
