LSG vs RCB Team Preview

Lucknow Super Giants

Lucknow Super Giants struggle this season, dropping three straight matches. Reaching the playoffs looks tough; they must win their remaining three games and rely on other teams’ results. Given LSG’s current form, this seems nearly impossible.

Their batting order, a key strength, started the season well but flopped in the past three matches. Captain Rishabh Pant adds to the woes, failing to score runs, faltering behind the stumps, and lacking in leadership skills, dragging the team down. Compare the top four teams with the bottom four, and the gap in captaincy and team performance stands out starkly.

LSG’s bowling unit also raises concerns; only Digvesh Rathi shines among spinners, and Avesh stands out among pacers. Mayank Yadav’s return sparked hope, but he disappointed, leaking runs at a high rate, including 60 runs in 4 overs in the last match. LSG’s chances against unbeaten-on-the-road RCB look slim, with only home advantage offering a glimmer of hope.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru

Royal Challengers Bengaluru initially struggled in matches with Philip Salt out of form, but Jacob Bethell now fills that gap, consistently delivering a solid start with inform Virat Kohli. In the lower order, Tim David stood alone until Romario Shepherd stepped up, smashing 53 runs in 14 balls. These positives signal a strong turnaround for RCB.

In the bowling department, Bhuvi, Dayal, and Suyash consistently shine with their form, while Lungi Ngidi perfectly replaces the injured Hazlewood, grabbing 3 wickets at an economy of 7.50 in his last outing. Everything favors RCB; they lead the head-to-head 3-2, remain unbeaten in away matches, and boast outstanding current form, giving them the upper hand in this contest.
