LSG Team News
In spite of still no appearance for South Africa’s Quinton de Kock at the top of the order and no recall for English pace bowler Mark Wood, Lucknow Super Giants enjoyed a comprehensive win over Punjab Kings in their last game. Marcus Stoinis is expected to miss this game with a fractured finger.
LSG Key Players
- KL Rahul- although the skipper made only 12 runs from his last innings, he is one of the most reliable and consistent run scorers in the IPL.
- Kyle Mayers- the left-handed West Indian is the only reason that Quinton de Kock is yet to get an appearance in the tournament. He hit 54 runs from 24 balls in the last match.
- Naveen-ul-Haq- the Afghan pace bowler dismissed Prabhsimran Singh, Sam Curran and Kagiso Rabada in an impressive display with the ball against Punjab Kings.
- Nicholas Pooran - Pooran has been in terrific form this season. He smashed 45 runs off 19 deliveries in the last match and has overall scored 216 runs in 8 matches at a strike rate of 194.59.
LSG Possible Impact Player Substitutes
K Gowtham, Daniel Sams, Prerak Mankad, Amit Mishra, Mark Wood
Amit Mishra is a vastly experienced spinner and came into the team in the last game. Gowtham is primarily a spinner but also a very fine attacking batter.
LSG Team Form
Lucknow Super Giants have won three of their last five matches but have not won back to back games for four matches.

RCB Team News
Vijaykumar Vyshak came into the Bangalore XI for their last match, the defeat to Kolkata Knight Riders and we expect him to retain his place. If Royal Challengers Bangalore choose to bat first then Faf du Plessis will be in the starting XI but we do not expect him to field.
RCB Key Players
- Faf du Plessis- it has been a fine IPL 2023 season for the South African who has already hit five half-centuries this campaign. He will be targeting his first IPL century in this match.
- Wanindu Hasaranga- the Sri Lanka bowling all-rounder is a match-winner in this tournament. He took 2-24 in the last game for his side.
- Mohammed Siraj- the right-arm pace bowler has been in fantastic form at the start of the innings and throughout other periods. He is yet to go wicketless in this campaign.
- Virat Kohli - Kohli has scored two half centuries in the last three matches. He is currently among the top five leading run scorers of the season with 333 runs in 8 innings at an impressive average of 47.57.
RCB Possible Impact Player Substitutes
Akash Deep, Karn Sharma, Finn Allen, Anuj Rawat
There are some excellent players ready to make an impact for Royal Challengers Bangalore. Anuj Rawat is a hard-hitting left-handed batter with Akash Deep a threat with the ball.
RCB Team Form
Royal Challengers Bangalore had lost to Kolkata Knight Riders in their last match, before that they won two consecutive games against Rajasthan Royals and Punjab Kings
RCB Predicted Playing 11
Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli (c), Mahipal Lomror, Glenn Maxwell, Shahbaz Ahmed, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Wanindu Hasaranga, Suyash Prabhudessai, Harshal Patel, David Willey, Mohammed Siraj, Vijaykumar Vyshak
