RCB vs LSG Match Preview

The IPL has entered its third week, with a match between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Lucknow Super Giants. When LSG visited the Chinnaswamy Stadium last year, tempers flared. LSG’s bowlers got them home on the last ball after Pooran and Stoinis annihilated the RCB bowlers in pursuit of a 200-plus target. The match was also full of drama, with Kohli colliding with Naveen ul Haq on the field and Gambhir after the game. Both teams need a win to advance in the tournament, but RCB more so. RCB has only won one of its three games, and a loss in this match will send them to the bottom of the table.

Topmost Picks for RCB vs LSG Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Royal Challengers Bengaluru

• Virat Kohli – Virat Kohli rediscovering his touch following a brief hiatus from cricket is the best thing to have happened to RCB so far.
• Mohammed Siraj – He went wicketless last match and would be looking for a stronger comeback in this match and taking plenty of wickets to make this match fall towards the RCB side.

Top Picks – Lucknow Super Giants

• Quinton de Kock – Finally Quinton looks to get his form at best. Getting 54 runs off 38 balls, gave him a good start for this tournament.
• Mayank Yadav – The debutant young Indian pacer has been the best bowler for LSG, bowled serious wheels to finish with 3/27 off 4 in his debut match.

RCB vs LSG Probable Winners:

Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s last match was not anything much to talk about, except Kohli’s impressive batting performance of 83 runs. On the other hand, Lucknow started off impressively with both bat and ball. Looks like this side as pretty balanced and has options to work on as compared to RCB. Lucknow Super Giants have enough options with both bat and ball to hold off RCB in this away encounter. Considering the team combination, Lucknow Super Giants are expected to win this match.
