Royal Challengers Bengaluru will host Lucknow Super Giants in match 15 of IPL 2024 to be played in Bengaluru on 2nd April. RCB is coming off with a loss against Kolkata Knight Riders. Virat Kohli looked impressive with an unbeaten 83 that helped them to post 182 for 6. The bowling was disappointing as they took only 3 wickets.
On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants registered their first win of the tournament beating Punjab Kings. Quinton de Kock 50, contributions from Pooran and Krunal Pandya helped LSG post 199 for 5. Mayank Yadav showed his skills picking 3 wickets on his debut and rattled PBKS batting.
Match Details
Details– IPL 2024, Match 15, RCB vs LSG
Venue– M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru
Date and Time– 2nd April 2024, 7.30 PM IST
Head-To-Head Record
RCB and LSG met each other 4 times in IPL history since 2022. RCB has a great record over LSG with 3 wins while LSG won once.
The last time these two teams met in the 2023 edition of IPL, LSG won the first encounter by 1 wicket chasing down 213 runs. Pooran played a blinder that helped LSG chase down a massive target.
RCB then came back in the return leg, winning by 18 runs at Lucknow. It was a low-scoring match as RCB posted 126 for 9 and then bowled out LSG for 108.
Pitch Report
The pitch used for the match between KKR and RCB was a superb batting pitch. During the first innings, pacers used slower deliveries which did not allow the RCB batters to score runs easily. Thanks to Kohli’s brilliance, RCB posted 182 for 6. In reply, KKR chased down the target easily with 17 balls to spare.
It promises to be another good batting paradise. The captain that wins the toss would likely field first, restrict the opponent, and chase down the target.
