THE LOWDOWN
LUCKNOW SUPER GIANTS
- Lucknow Super Giants fell agonisingly short of finishing in second-place with net-run-rate seeing them finish in third-place below Rajasthan Royals and thus entering this eliminator clash.
- The Super Giants are very top heavy with the bat and key to this contest will be the performance of openers KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock in particular, who put on an unbeaten stand of 210 runs last time out which saw Lucknow beat KKR by ten wickets.
ROYAL CHALLENGERS BANGALORE
- With a little help from Mumbai Indians, Royal Challengers Bangalore snuck into the playoffs courtesy of a win last Thursday against table toppers Gujarat Titans combined with Mumbai’s win over Delhi Capitals two days later.
- Most pleasing from an RCB point of view is Virat Kohli looking back to his old self with a brilliant 73 against Gujarat and it he can keep that up across this eliminator then it could well prove match defining.
THE PREDICTION
A high scoring encounter is anticipated between two teams with the capability of putting up a large number of runs across the powerplay and at the top of the order. Whilst Lucknow Super Giants have proven more consistent across the league stage, Royal Challengers Bangalore have both the star quality and experience to cause what would likely be considered a surprise here. You can’t underestimate the power of experience in such a pressure contest and with that in mind, consider backing the wily RCB to push through and edge what should be a thrilling battle.
