Royal Challengers Bangalore after a setback in their previous game against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens, will face Lucknow Super Giants at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium. LSG started off their IPL 2023 campaign with a 50-run win against DC, but lost their next match to CSK by 12 runs and later made a comeback by defeating SRH on a margin of five wickets.
Wanindu Hasaranga's inclusion in RCB squad would be a great addition for their side while, LSG will have a headache in choosing their four overseas players combination as Kyle Mayers has been doing a brilliant job with the bat in this season so far. Notably, last time when these two side met each other was in the IPL 2022 eliminator game, where RCB ended up beating LSG by a margin of 12 runs.
