Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will be taking on the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the 43rd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Monday
RCB will face LSG for the second time in IPL 2023. The first match between LSG and RCB was a nail-biting thriller, with LSG clinching victory by just one wicket. The game today is scheduled to start at 7:30 pm IST
Lucknow Super Giants won five of their eight matches and Royal Challengers Bangalore emerged victorious in four of their eight matches. The two teams will look at securing a big win at the clash in Lucknow today
Kyle Mayers is currently the leading run-getter for his side with 297 runs in 8 games. Meanwhile, KL Rahul has 274 runs in eight matches. The openers will be key for LSG to negate RCB's attacking bowling
Bishnoi's spin bowling and Stoinis' power hitting will be in focus for LSG to beat a strong team like RCB
The RCB captain and Kohli have been the openers the team always wanted. Their controlled destruction of opponents' bowling this season has been exemplary and RCB will hope for them to fire once more in Lucknow
RCB's other star overseas players will be expected to propel the team in Lucknow with their formidable all-round abilties and solid spin bowling, respectively
