With their next three matches including this scheduled at this venue, Royal Challengers Bangalore will hope to go on a winning run. Lucknow Super Giants haven’t won against Bangalore last season and could find the home team too hot to handle. I am backing Royal Challengers to win this match.

Head to Head

Lucknow Super Giants are just one year old in the IPL and hence played Royal Challengers Bangalore only twice. They lost both the matches.

Bangalore won by 18 runs at the DY Patil Stadium before winning by 14 runs in the second match at Eden Gardens in the play-offs.

Royal Challengers Bangalore Form

Starting their season at home, Royal Challengers Bangalore won by eight wickets against Mumbai Indians. They later fell to an 81-run thrashing at the hands of Kolkata Knight Riders.

It has been a regular story for RCB with the top-order leading the run riot. Virat Kohli scored 103 runs so far while Faf du Plessis hit 96 runs, but none of the batters aggregated more than 20 runs.

Karn Sharma’s four wickets remain the most by any RCB bowler, but with no consistency from any of the others, they remain a struggling lot.

Reece Topley has been replaced by South African pacer Wayne Parnell, while Rajat Patidar is replaced by Vyshak Vijay Kumar. Wanindu Hasaranga will join the side on the day of this game, so it remains a question mark if he plays this match.

Lucknow Super Giants Form

Lucknow Super Giants have four points from three matches, winning two and losing one. They defeated Delhi by 50 runs and Hyderabad by five wickets, but lost to Chennai by 12 runs.

It is the enterprising Kyle Mayers at the top of the order, who has been a pleasant surprise for Lucknow. He scored 139 runs so far at a SR of 187.83. Not far behind him on impact is Nicholas Pooran whose 79 runs have seen seven sixes.

Bowling has been about the consistent Ravi Bishnoi whose six wickets have come at just 6.25rpo.

Lucknow Super Giants Team News

Mark Wood missed the earlier game for Lucknow with flu and even Avesh Khan was out with an injury. The duo could be assessed closer to the game’s start for their availability.
