Lucknow Super Giants will host RCB in a big game in Lucknow. Both LSG and RCB have played decent cricket this season. LSG have five wins in eight matches to their names while RCB have won four in eight outings.
LSG defeated Punjab Kings by 56 runs in the last game while RCB suffered a 21-run loss to Kolkata Knight Riders. LSG defeated RCB in a close game by 1 wicket in the previous outing in IPL 2023.
The surface has been slightly sluggish and run-scoring hasn't been that easy. Batters need to get set and focus more on rotating the strike.
There is a 40 per cent chance of rain on the match day in Lucknow but the weather is expected to clear around 6 PM in the evening.
KL Rahul(C), MP Stoinis, YS Thakur, Kyle Mayers, Deepak Hooda, KH Pandya, A Badoni, Nicholas Pooran, Avesh Khan, Ravi Bishnoi, Naveen-ul-Haq
Virat Kohli, F du Plessis(C), SS Prabhudessai, MK Lomror, GJ Maxwell, Shahbaz Ahmed, DJ Willey, W Hasaranga, Dinesh Karthik(wk), HV Patel, Mohammed Siraj
Kyle Mayers' decent performance has kept Quinton de Kock out of the playing XI and it should remain the same in the coming game. LSG are likely to stick with the same 11 while RCB too won't be concerned about making changes. Shahbaz Ahmed has been below par but given that he is a spin-bowling all-rounder, he might get one more game in Lucknow.
The teams have met thrice, with RCB winning two games against the KL Rahul-led side.

Virat Kohli has been a strong pillar of RCB batting this year. Kohli has been very consistent, scoring 333 runs in eight matches. He has also hit five fifties this year.
Faf du Plessis has also been in red hot form in IPL 2023. Faf is the leading run-scorer for RCB so far, with 422 runs, including 5 half centuries.
Kyle Mayers has been a surprise for LSG this season. The consistency Mayers has shown this season must have surprised LSG as well but they should not mind it. Mayers has scored 297 runs for LSG, including four half-centuries.
Mohammed Siraj has been phenomenal for RCB. He has picked wickets with the new ball in every game and then came back to pick crucial wickets at death. Siraj is the leading wicket-taker for RCB with 14 wickets so far.
Spinners have enjoyed a lot of success on the low and slow track of Lucknow and Ravi Bishnoi can be a big impact player for LSG against RCB.
