IPL 2023 | LSG vs RCB | 43rd Match, 1st May, 7:30 PM | Match Preview

Series: Indian Premier League 2023

Lucknow Super Giants vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, 43rd Match 1st May 7.30 PM IST

Venue: Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow

LSG will be taking on RCB on their home venue as they look to avoid a hat-trick of losses on this ground. The hosts failed to chase down 136 runs in their last match here where they dominated all but 4 overs of the match.
Nevertheless, the KL-led team registered the highest score of this IPL in Mohali in their last match. And will be carrying that momentum and confidence in their batting as they gear up for the RCB challenge.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Lucknow Super Giants Preview
A brilliant start from Kyle Mayers set the platform for at least 220+ total and the LSG middle order didn’t disappoint as Badoni, Stoinis, and Pooran all delivered big time in their last match.
It was a much-needed performance for LSG to gain some confidence after a dramatic loss in their previous match against GT. While Rahul’s struggle with strike rate and the 1st Over continues,
the middle order has some good news for the Super Giants.

Royal Challengers Bangalore Preview
This is a challenging time for RCB. An over-dependence on their star players and a possibly tricky and slowish pitch in Lucknow aren’t ideal at this point.
RCB need their middle order to find its form. Could this challenge be an opportunity in disguise? Time will tell. It seems Dinesh Karthik’s time in the IPL has reached its end. With his current form, he’s
becoming a liability for RCB and will likely go unsold next season.

Pitch Report
The Ekana Stadium in Lucknow is the venue for this match. The average 1st innings score in IPL at this venue is 152 while LSG holds the record for the highest score of 192 on this ground.
A match-winning total should be something over 170 for team batting first.

key players LSG : Kyle Mayers, Marcus Stoinis, Naveen-ul-Haq, Ravi Bishnoi
