IPL Cricket Match Prediction 2024 | Match 15 | Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Lucknow Super Giants – Will LSG be able to defeat the hosts RCB? | April 02
Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Lucknow Super Giants Match Analysis
The third week of the IPL is underway, and on Monday, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will face off.
Last year, when LSG visited the Chinnaswamy stadium, tensions were high. After Pooran and Stoinis destroyed the RCB bowlers to chase a 200+ total, LSG’s bowlers brought them home on the final ball. Drama also abounds in this match-up, as evidenced by the run-in that Kohli had both during play and after the game with Gambhir and Naveen ul Haq. Even if Gambhir has moved on to his former team and Naveen and Kohli have reconciled, this rivalry is undoubtedly going to remain intense.
To continue moving forward in the tournament, both teams must win, but RCB is more so. With only one victory in their last three matches, RCB will drop to the bottom of the standings if they lose this match. LSG will be looking to move past their away defeat to the Royals in Jaipur and implement any strategies they find effective when playing Punjab at home.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Lucknow Super Giants Team Preview & Squads
Royal Challengers Bengaluru
The nicest thing that has occurred to RCB so far is that Kohli has found his touch again after taking a short break from cricket. Dinesh Karthik has also contributed some significant runs in the lower order, doing a superb job of fulfilling his finishing role. But RCB has a lot to be concerned about. Concerning Du Plessis’s weak start to the game.
The captain needs to bounce back from his two bat-related mishaps and resume making the best use of the powerplay by hitting some quick runs. Although Glenn Maxwell has shown flashes of brilliance, RCB won’t settle with that because of his capacity to alter the course of the match if he is allowed to play himself. They also terribly missed it versus KKR. Green is in the same boat. He attempted to quicken the pace but was removed after playing with purpose and hitting a few boundaries to keep the scorecard ticking over.
RCB has some issues when it comes to bowling as well. When Yash Dayal and Mohd Siraj use their radar correctly, they appear menacing; otherwise, they are just regular people. Lockie Ferguson ought to be inserted into the starting lineup instead of Alzarri Joseph, who needs to be given a break. Mayank Dagar’s deficiency in wickets is yet another major issue that RCB needs to promptly resolve.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru Squads
Faf du Plessis (c), Anuj Rawat (wk), Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, Rajat Patidar, Cameron Green, Alzarri Joseph/Lockie Ferguson, Mohammed Siraj, Mayank Dagar, Yash Dayal, and Vijaykumar Vyashak (Impact Player).
Lucknow Super Giants
The LSG’s tactical choices in the previous game surprised everyone, even the PBKS, who were the opponents. KL Rahul was designated as the impact sub, and Nicholas Pooran was tasked with organizing the troops. On a recently re-laid strip, they chose to bat first without considering the possible repercussions of the chase turning against them if the dew set in. All that mattered was that they emerged victorious in the end.
Both Quinton de Kock and Krunal Pandya performed admirably, hitting some powerful blows later to elevate LSG over average on a strong batting strip. It’s concerning that Stoinis and Badoni don’t communicate well. In terms of bowling, Ravi Bishnoi is still finding his footing. Compared to what he has done in the first two games, he is a better bowler.
While Mohsin Khan took two crucial wickets against PBKS to change the tide following a subpar bowling performance against the RR in the season’s opening match, Naveen ul Haq performed a good play. The season’s high point, though, must be the addition of pacer Mayank Dagar, who bowled some wicked wheels the other night ending with 3/27 off 4 in his first encounter.
Lucknow Super Giants Squads
KL Rahul (c), Quinton de Kock (wk), Devdutt Padikkal, Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni, Marcus Stoinis, Ravi Bishnoi, Krunal Pandya, Mohsin Khan, Naveen ul Haq, and Mayank Yadav.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Lucknow Super Giants outfield report
M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru
Since Chinnaswamy is a small area, defense is quite difficult here. Teams would be eager to chase after RCB was unable to hold a score of 182 in the previous match.
There will be clear skies and a comfortable temperature in the upper 20s. The ball would go the distance more easily with the breeze.
The pitch is among the best in India to bat on, and there is no doubt that the surface is not willing to assist. Additionally, its small borders and speedy outfield make it ideal for games with a lot of scoring.
