Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bengaluru will meet tonight in an important contest as both teams aim for playoff spots.
RCB currently rank third on the points table and would strengthen their chances by defeating Gujarat Titans, while for LSG a victory would mean not dropping to sixth spot in standings.
Even as their openers excelled, RCB’s middle order struggled. A dispiriting 42-run loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad put their chances of finishing in the top two at risk while dropping them into fifth position, one point behind fourth-place Punjab Kings.
LSG have shown tremendous signs of growth over their recent games, most notably their victory against Gujarat Titans due to Mitch Marsh’s incredible innings of 117 off 64 balls. Unfortunately for them though, playoff contention remains out of their grasp so LSG may hope to disrupt RCB as they vie for top four positions.
Virat Kohli will look to break out of his current slump with the bat and return to form for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), with Mayank Agarwal and Jitesh Sharma providing support. Meanwhile, their bowlers hope to contain LSG’s strong batting lineup.
Indian fans can watch live coverage of this match on Star Sports Network (Star Sports 1 HD/SD). Furthermore, JioHotstar subscribers can subscribe and stream online streaming directly onto mobile devices. Furthermore, American cricket enthusiasts can catch all of the action through Fubo TV.
Lucknow will host the match between RCB and LSG at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Stadium, with its red soil pitch expected to provide bounce and aid batters as well as some turn for spinners like Krunal Pandya (RCB) and Digvesh Rathi (LSG), so we should anticipate an exciting high scoring contest for fans!
Match Schedule
Indian Premier League will return on May 17 with two-headers after its week-long suspension due to India-Pakistan tensions, beginning with Royal Challengers Bengaluru taking on Kolkata Knight Riders at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow before hosting Delhi Capitals at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore.
TV Channels
On Tuesday, May 27 (Tuesday), LSG and RCB will face off at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium for an intense showdown that could decide the future of both teams’ playoff berths.
A win for RCB would guarantee them a spot alongside Punjab Kings for Qualifier Round qualifying while losing could push LSG out of top four contention altogether.
These teams have met five times during the IPL, with RCB winning three encounters but also managing to break through and beat them twice, most recently in Dharamsala.
Now, Super Giants hope to ruin RCB’s party and salvage some pride with another strong performance against them in Mumbai.
This match will be broadcast live in India by Star Sports Network and streamed live via JioHotstar, while Willow TV can be found with various cable providers in the US such as Dish and Xfinity; otherwise Fubo provides live coverage.
In Lucknow, cricketers should expect a flat and true surface suitable for strokeplay while keeping in mind dew factor could make spinners difficult to deal with during their innings; something which should be kept in mind when making predictions for this game.
Prediction
RCB are in desperate need of victory to remain competitive against Gujarat Titans for top two finish, while LSG under Rishabh Pant are out of contention but keen on finishing on an optimistic note.
Phil Salt’s hamstring injury and Josh Hazlewood’s shoulder niggle posed fresh concerns following the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) loss to Hyderabad on Tuesday, creating more uncertainty around their squad as a whole.
Although assistant coaches remain hopeful they’ll both make it for this match-up, their participation may depend on results of late fitness tests conducted beforehand.
Avesh Khan and Wil O’Rourke will rely on Avesh Khan and Wil O’Rourke’s efforts to stop runs flowing freely; while these two have proven their abilities in stopping runs in some instances, they will need support from other members of their attack to remain effective.
LSG’s batsmen have also been impressive, with Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, and Nicholas Pooran all averaging more than 40 and scoring more than 400 runs this season.
These will need support from power hitters such as Ayush Badoni and Abdul Samad while players such as Digvesh Rathi, Ravi Bishnoi and Akash Deep could potentially take wickets with their speed.
This matchup will pit two highly motivated teams against an “anything-can-happen” outfit, with ChatGPT’s AI giving an advantage to RCB. However, an entertaining battle should ensue between hosts Pooran and Marsh as both are expected to contribute vital momentum for their side.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru are heavy favourites on 12Bet with odds of 1.70 for this matchup, set to start at 7:30 PM IST. Ekana Cricket Stadium B, better known as Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Cricket Stadium of Lucknow is made up of red and black soil that supports batting well – though temperatures in Lucknow on Tuesday could make bowlers work even harder to keep the batsmen at bay.
