On May 27 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) square off as the 70th match of this season of IPL. Because they are not in playoff contention, LSG wants to close their season with a win.
Rishabh Pant is leading the team after getting better from injury, following DC’s 33-run thrashing of Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad last week. Although LSG had a 6-7 record last year, the team wants to explore promising new talents and finish the season with success.
On the other hand, RCB is aiming for a top-two spot to help their chances in the playoffs. They’re currently in third place with eight wins and four losses from their 13 games. A victory means they would remain among the top two teams. Virat Kohli and Philip Salt have consistently led RCB’s top-scoring batting this season.
With Hazlewood now available for RCB, their bowling will have to handle the opening charge set by Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran for LSG. The game is set to be thrilling because RCB wants to secure a place in the playoffs, and LSG hopes to leave with honor.
