Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will face Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) on Monday, May 01, at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, after a fantastic win against Punjab Kings in their last IPL 2023 match. Notably, in their most recent match, the LSG wreaked havoc with the bat, scoring 257 runs, the second-highest total in tournament history. Marcus Stoinis, Kyle Mayers, and Nicholas Pooran batted brilliantly, and despite the fact that bowlers leaked a lot of runs, the management will be unconcerned.
When it comes to Bangalore, they recently lost to the Kolkata Knight Riders. Aside from Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, and Glenn Maxwell, no other batter has proven themselves with the bat, which is a major concern for the team. Mohammed Siraj has been outstanding with that ball, while Wanindu Hasaranga has performed admirably. Regardless, RCB has a lot of room for improvement right now.
