THE LOWDOWN
LUCKNOW SUPER GIANTS
- Four wins and two defeats so far for Lucknow Super Giants see them established at the top end of the IPL table and in a good position going forward, most recently beating struggling Mumbai Indians by 18 runs.
- Captain KL Rahul’s incredible 103 not out set the tone for Lucknow in that match and the skipper can also rely on pace bowler Avesh Khan, who will likely play a big part in this contest following his three wickets against Mumbai.
ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE
- Like Lucknow Super Giants, Royal Challengers Bangalore have also won four and lost two of their six matches played after bouncing back following defeat against Chennai Super Kings, by beating Delhi Capitals by 16 runs.
- Experienced wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik is currently the talk of this RCB side, the 36-year-old having smashed 66 from 34 balls against CSK and he is in the form of his life playing in the role of finisher, so Lucknow will need to dismiss him early whether they be bowling first or second.
THE PREDICTION
This could be an absolute belter of a match between two extremely strong teams, each with realistic play-off aspirations. Both sides contain the ability to win matches low down the order due to the strength-in-depth within each batting line-up, not to mention the individual quality within the bowling units of both Lucknow and RCB. Ultimately though, when taking into account the brilliance of KL Rahul alongside Quinton de Kock as his opening partner and Avesh Khan’s potency with the ball in particular, consider backing Lucknow Super Giants to edge past RCB.
