Match Preview:

The IPL 2024 will witness a thrilling contest at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium as the Royal Challengers Bengaluru host the Lucknow Super Giants. Ahead of this clash, both teams have had contrasting results with RCB losing to the Kolkata Knight Riders while the LSG taking down the Punjab Kings. But last season Bengaluru and Lucknow produced two cracking contests where both teams registered a win each.

Pitch Report:

The M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in  Bengaluru has produced some of the best batting wickets in India. Despite the venue being a batting paradise, in IPL 2024, fast bowlers have performed well by implementing slower deliveries and cutters. This venue has also heavily favoured chasing teams, with defending totals being difficult.

Team Analysis:

Royal Challengers Bengaluru 

Like countless previous IPL seasons, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru are seemingly dependent on individual brilliance with the team failing to come together and firing as a unit. Leading RCB, Virat Kohli has been in top form but the bowling attack hasn’t performed consistently, allowing opposition batters to score freely. 

Royal Challengers Bengaluru IPL 2024 Squad:

Yash Dayal, Vijaykumar Vyshak, Reece Topley, Swapnil Singh, Karn Sharma, Himanshu Sharma, Rajan Kumar, Mohammed Siraj, Alzarri Joseph, Lockie Ferguson, Mayank Dagar, Suyash Prabhudessai, Glenn Maxwell, Mahipal Lomror, Will Jacks, Cameron Green, Tom Curran, Manoj Bhandage, Akash Deep, Rajat Patidar, Virat Kohli, Dinesh Karthik, Saurav Chauhan, Anuj Rawat, Faf du Plessis (c)

Lucknow Super Giants

On the other hand, the Lucknow Super Giants have looked decent in the 2024 season with one win and one loss. The LSG top-order hasn’t fired well with only one of the top three batters stepping up to score runs. But Nicholas Pooran’s stunning form has been a huge positive for the Super Giants. But their bowling still seems like an issue with a lot of inexperienced Indian pacers, who could go runs against quality batting lineups. 

Lucknow Super Giants IPL 2024 Squad:

Yudhvir Singh Charak, Yash Thakur, Mayank Yadav, Manimaran Siddharth, Shivam Mavi, Ravi Bishnoi, Naveen-ul-Haq, Shamar Joseph, David Willey, Marcus Stoinis, Krunal Pandya, Kyle Mayers, Prerak Mankad, Arshin Kulkarni, Deepak Hooda, Krishnappa Gowtham, Ashton Turner, Nicholas Pooran, Devdutt Padikkal, Quinton de Kock, Ayush Badoni, KL Rahul (c), Mohsin Khan, Mohsin Khan, Amit Mishra, Arshad Khan
