Lucknow Super Giants vs Royal Challengers Bangalore Preview
The situation is clear for RCB: if they win, they will finish in the top two and qualify to the Qualifier 1, to be played on Thursday. If they lose, they will have to play in the eliminator on Friday.
LSG Form
With a win on Tuesday, LSG can move to sixth place, which is just outside the top half. That is probably a fair indicator of the season that LSG have had, particularly with a run that included four straight losses.
That run was broken by a 33-run win against Gujarat Titans in the previous game, led by Mitchell Marsh’s 117 off 64 balls. Even Nicholas Pooran scored 56 off just 27 balls in that match as LSG scored 235 for 2.
LSG Team News
LSG will play a similar team to ensure they give their fans a win to end the season.
RCB Form
RCB had a poor bowling day and were punished by Sunrisers as they slammed 231 for 6, led by Ishan Kishan’s 94 off 48 balls.
With the ball, Pat Cummins took 3 for 28 to break the back of the chase in the middle overs. Every bowler picked up at least one wicket.
RCB Team News
Josh Hazlewood has returned to India for the playoffs but may need some time to return to full fitness.
Verdict
LSG will come out swinging but that could be RCB’s chance to pull off a few wickets. RCB have Virat Kohli and Phil Salt in strong form, which will suit them but there is still plenty of work to be done with the ball. Still, we’re backing RCB to come away with the win.
