Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are facing off against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in match no. 43 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Monday. It is the second time this season that the two sides will be facing off with LSG having won the previous encounter in Bengaluru by 1 wicket.
LSG’s win earlier this season was their first-ever over the RCB, having lost both their previous match last year, including one in the IPL 2022 Playoffs. Virat Kohli’s RCB will seek revenge for the loss this season and look to return to winning ways after losing their last match against the Kolkata Knight Riders at home.
The home side are in rollicking form with the bat, having posted the biggest total of the IPL 2023 against the Punjab Kings in Mohali last weekend. RCB bowlers will need to be at their best to keep KL Rahul’s side in check although LSG may miss the services of all-rounder Marcus Stoinis due to a finger injury.
RCB will be glad to have the services of Josh Hazlewood for the first time this season but it will be interesting to see if skipper Faf du Plessis will play the Australian pacer on a track which has favoured the spinners so far this season. In the batting department, Du Plessis and Kohli are leading the run-scoring charts, just behind Orange Cap holder Yashasvi Jaiswal.
