Bengaluru: The Bengaluru team will play today against the Lucknow team at the Chinnaswamy ground. There will be no dearth of excitement as RCB players will be eager to get back to winning ways on home soil and KL Rahul will be eager to show mass in his native land.
Lucknow Supergiants led by KL Rahul will face Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 15th league match of the IPL series to be held at the Bangalore Stadium. If you want to say more, Virat Kohli vs Khuti Kohli match will be held in Bengaluru stadium. As KL Rahul is from Karnataka and has also played for RCB, the expectations for the game have increased.
As for Bengaluru, they beat Mumbai in the first match. But in the match against KKR, everything was in play, both batting and bowling. However, Virat Kohli, Du Plessis, Maxwell, Dinesh Karthik and Bracewell are in good form. Siraj, Harsal Patel, Karan Sharma and David Willey are sure to perform well at the Chinnaswamy ground as well.
RCB’s only concern is the death overs. In the last two matches, RCB conceded 117 runs in the last 8 overs alone. As a result, all the efforts made in the first 16 overs are wasted. If this is not changed, the RCB team will lose at the batting paradise of Bengaluru. Fans are also worried about Dinesh Karthik’s form.
As for the Lucknow team, they have defeated the weaker Delhi and Hyderabad teams at home. Chennai has suffered a defeat against the team. Kyle Meyers and Nicholas Pooran are the only players in good form. If Indian batsmen KL Rahul and Deepak Hooda do not add runs, Lucknow will have to continue losing on foreign soil.
The Chinnaswamy pitch will favor the spinners and RCB will be challenged by Ravi Bishnai and Amit Mishra who bowl the 6-ball googly. Likewise, if both Avesh Khan and Mark Wood don’t bowl well for the pitch, there will definitely be a situation where they have to give away runs. As both did not play in the last match, both are expected to feature in today’s match.
