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.
RCB lost badly against their bitter rivals, KKR. With the bat, the home team only scored 182 runs. With 20 balls remaining, KKR won the match by seven wickets after easily reaching the mark. In Bengaluru, at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, RCB and LSG will square off. After suffering a crushing defeat in their previous game, the home team would be looking to get back on the winning track. They do have some worries about their lineup, which they may address during the matchup with LSG.

However, LSG will be ecstatic after their most recent victory over PBKS. Mayank Yadav, whose speed seems to have no bounds, is a fantastic talent that the Lucknow-based team discovered in the game. During his lethal stint, the right-arm pacer did not record a delivery speed lower than 140 kmph. With the exception of him, LSG boasts some of the greatest players in the world, and they will be facing some of the top players in the RCB dugout.

PITCH REPORT
The M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru will host the encounter between RCB and LSG. This time around, the venue’s pitch has been intriguing because the bowlers are receiving some assistance. The wicket has been sluggish, and there is some early swing available. Such conditions can be advantageous for slower pacers and spinners both. Despite everything, batters are still capable of putting up big runs. The dew factor gives you an advantage batting second.
