TEAMS PREVIEW

Lucknow Super Giants Preview

Rishab Pant's team showed what it is capable of in the last game against the Gujarat Titans. In a game where the side executed its plans perfectly, they won by 33 runs. However, the team struck form too late and is out of contention for the playoffs. It is their last game this season, and Pant and his men would like to sign off with a big win.  

Mitchell Marsh hit a match-winning hundred in the last game, and the team expects him to deliver a good start along with Aiden Markram. Nicholas Pooran is an aggressive player and must build partnerships with Pant and Ayush Badoni in the middle order. The team expects a strong show in the lower middle order from Abdul Samad, Himmat Singh, and Shahbaz Ahmed.  

The bowling attack has struggled in most games. Akash Deep and Akash Maharaj Singh must get early breakthroughs as the Royal Challengers have a strong batting lineup. William O'Rourke and Avesh Khan will look to keep the scoring in check in the middle overs. The team will expect a strong show in the ing role from Shahbaz Ahmed and Badoni.

Lucknow Super Giants Predicted Playing XI:

Rishab Pant (c & wk), Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni, Abdul Samad, Himmat Singh, Shahbaz Ahmed, Akash Deep, Avesh Khan, William Orourke, Akash Maharaj Singh (Impact Player)

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Preview

Rajat Patidar's team experimented a bit in their last game against the Sunrisers Hyderabad and paid the price. The side allowed SRH to put up a big total and then lost the game from a position of strength. They are already in the playoffs, and Patidar would like to use the last game to build momentum and finish Top 2 on the points table to enjoy the extra cushion in the playoffs.  

Virat Kohli and Philip Salt have been in phenomenal form at the top, and the team expects the pair to deliver an electrifying start. Mayank Agarwal must steer the innings in the middle order and add runs with Rajat Patidar and Jitesh Sharma. The team expects Romario Shepherd, Tim David, and Krunal Pandya to deliver the goods in the lower middle order after failing in the last game.  

The bowling attack struggled in the last game, and the team expects early wickets from Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Yash Dayal to put the team in a strong position. The team expects a good show from Lungi Ngidi and Suyash Sharma in the middle overs. Krunal Pandya and Romario Shepherd must use their experience in the ing role, as LSG has a strong batting lineup. 

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Predicted Playing XI:

Rajat Patidar (c), Philip Salt, Virat Kohli, Mayank Agarwal, Jitesh Sharma (wk), Tim David, Romario Shepherd, Krunal Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Yash Dayal, Lungi Ngidi, Suyash Sharma (Impact Player)

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

We expect warm and dry weather in Lucknow. We expect a flat surface where the ball would come to the bat nicely, allowing batters to play their strokes easily. The ball will turn sharply on this track. The average first innings total is 167 runs, and the team batting first will need 200 on the board.

LSG vs RCB Pitch Report

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, is a good ground for batsmen who are selective with stroke-making. The ball stops on the batsmen occasionally, and the spinners have done well at this venue. The straight boundaries are long, so batsmen must time their shots well at this venue.

Toss: To Bowl

The side chasing the score in this venue won the last four out of five games. We have seen big scores, and the excellent wicket makes it a good surface to chase. The side that wins the toss in this game will look to use the early conditions and opt to bowl first.
