RCB vs LSG- IPL 2023: The Royal Challengers Bangalore will clash with the Lucknow Super Giants on Monday, April 10 at the Mr Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. The encounter will take place at 7:30 pm IST. After a humbling defeat at the hands of the Kolkata Knight Riders, RCB will host LSG and look forward to redeeming their last match. Lucknow has managed to win two of their three fixtures so far and is in great form, but beating the Faf du Plesiss-led side will not be a cakewalk.
In order to register their second win of the season, RCB needs to improve significantly with the bat. Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis gave them a good start but soon after their dismissal, their batting unit fell like a house of cards. Other than David Willey, bowlers looked pale as well and thus, there is a lot of room for improvement for RCB at the moment.
Meanwhile, Lucknow Super Giants will be confident ahead of the game. KL Rahul’s form is definitely a matter of concern but the good news is, he always proves his class against RCB. Mark Wood is expected to make his return to the playing XI. On the other hand, Quinton de Kock has returned back to India after his international commitments and is very likely to open the innings alongside Rahul.
Ahead of today’s match, here is a look at the two team’s head-to-head stats:
