Preview: The 15th match of the IPL 2024 would pit Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB). Both teams’ campaigns in the current competition have gotten off to comparable starts. The opening game of the season was a home loss for both sides. Both sides were able to rally and win in their second game, which was played on their respective home fields. The only thing that’s changed is that RCB lost their last match.
The crushing defeat against KKR was inflicted upon RCB. The home team scored a meager 182 runs while batting first. KKR won the match by seven wickets with 20 balls remaining after easily reaching the mark. In Bengaluru, M Chinnaswamy Stadium will host the encounter between RCB and LSG. After a devastating setback in their last game, the home team would be looking to get back on track. In the match against LSG, they may address some of their lineup difficulties.
However, LSG, fresh off a victory over PBKS, will be riding high. Mayank Yadav is a fantastic player that the Lucknow-based team discovered. He appears to have no speed restrictions. None of the deliveries made by the right-arm pacer throughout his lethal spell had a speed of less than 140 kmph. When it comes to players, LSG boasts some of the greatest in the world, but they will go up against some of the finest in the RCB dugout.

Pitch Report: Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium will host the encounter between RCB and LSG. This time, there is some help available for the bowlers, which has made the pitch at the venue intriguing.

Because to the dew factor, batting second is advantageous.
