LSG vs RCB: Ground Pitch Report

Ekana Stadium offers a tricky surface. The wicket is slow and sticky, where bowlers have enough help to bowl with. Spinners will be more effective on this surface because of the slow and low wicket. There will be dew in the second innings, which will make the decision of chasing an ideal one.

LSG vs RCB Player to Watch Out For

Probable Best Batter

Virat Kohli has been the top scorer for RCB, and he will be the one to watch out for. Nicholas Pooran slammed a quick fifty in the last game and looked in good form. He can be difficult to stop.

Probable Best Bowler

Josh Hazlewood won the MOTM award in the last meeting against LSG and will be a difficult bowler to face on the slow wicket in Lucknow. For LSG, Mohammed Shami will be key, because he gets early wickets with the new ball.

Today Match Prediction: LSG have not been at their best, and they are struggling. Hence, we predict RCB to win this game.
