Royal Challengers Bangalore are favourites to win
Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore go head to head in the Eliminator as part of the 2022 Indian Premier League Play-Offs at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Wednesday evening. Lucknow Super Giants ended the group stage in third place with nine wins from 14 games. RCB finished in fourth, two points behind third. Read on as we preview this game. The match begins at 19:30 local time.
Lucknow Super Giants finished their group stage campaign by posting a total of 210-0 and beating Kolkata Knight Riders by 2 runs. With their openers in such strong form, they will be very confident of progressing.
RCB beat top of the table Gujarat Titans by 8 wickets with 8 balls in their final group stage fixture. With Virat Kohli finding his form, RCB will feel that they can now beat anyone in this tournament.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Star Sports in India, Sky Cricket in the UK and Fox Sport in Australia. Flow Sports will broadcast in the Caribbean with SuperSport possessing the rights in South Africa
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Disney+ Hotstar and SkyGo.
Both teams would have chosen to bat first in their final group stage games if they had won the toss, but with humidity an issue later in this match, we predict that both skippers will want to field first at Eden Gardens.
There should be something in this pitch to assist the top level spinners and pace bowlers. A par score in Kolkata will be over 180.
The temperature will drop from 31 to 29 degrees with the humidity level climbing from 73% to 80% as the game progresses.
Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds, and match prediction for Lucknow Super Giants vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, Eliminator IPL 2022.
There were three changes for Lucknow Super Giants ahead of their high-scoring thriller against Kolkata Knight Riders at the DY Patil Stadium. Krunal Pandya missed out after sustaining a minor injury with Dushmantha Chameera and Ayush Badoni also not selected. Krishnappa Gowtham, Evin Lewis and Manan Vohra all came into the side.
Lucknow Super Giants have won only two of their last four games with both victories coming over KKR. Their opening batting pair were particularly impressive in their last match.
Quinton de Kock (wk), KL Rahul (c), Evin Lewis, Deepak Hooda, Manan Vohra, Marcus Stoinis, Jason Holder, Krishnappa Gowtham. Avesh Khan, Mohsin Khan, Ravi Bishnoi
Mohammad Siraj was left out for RCB’s must-win final group stage game against Gujurat Titans at the Wankhede Stadium on Thursday. In Siraj’s place came Siddarth Kaul who conceded seven boundaries from his 4 overs. We expect Kaul to retain his place for the Eliminator.
RCB come into this match in strong form after winning three of their last four games. Any team who beats Gujarat Titans must be a force to be reckoned with.
Faf du Plessis (c), Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, Mahipal Lomror, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Shahbaz Ahmed, Wanindu Hasaranga, Harshal Patel, Siddarth Kaul, Josh Hazlewood
Lucknow Super Giants and RCB have only met once before with the game taking place at the DY Patil Stadium in Match 31 this season. RCB won the game by 18 runs with skipper Faf du Plessis scoring 96.

The bookies are expecting a close game between two strong sides and are predicting Lucknow Super Giants to get the win. However, we fancy RCB to get the victory
After beating Gujarat Titans in their last game and defeating Lucknow Super Giants earlier in the tournament, we think that RCB will come into this match with the self-belief to progress.
We have the first, ninth and 13th highest run scorers in the 2022 IPL on display in this game. Expect Jos Buttler, Hardik Pandya and Shubman Gill to all contribute in this match.

For Lucknow Super Giants, Avesh Khan, Jason Holder and Ravi Bishnoi are our bowling tips. Holder has taken 14 wickets at an average of 27.92 so far this season. Bishnoi dismissed Sam Billings against KKR and needs one more wicket for his best IPL season return.
For RCB, Wanindu Hasaranga, Josh Hazlewood and Harshal Patel are our bowling tips. Hazlewood took 2-39 against Gujarat Titans and dismissed Shubman Gill and Rahul Tewatia. Patel only bowled one over in the last game after suffering a minor injury but he will be fully fit for this match and took 4-34 in his last full appearance.
The Eliminator fixture is always an exciting game in the IPL calendar and we do not think we will be disappointed this year. Lucknow Super Giants showed their batting prowess in the last game and RCB beat the strongest team in the tournament. We expect a close game and are predicting a victory for RCB.
