Lucknow Super Giants vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Prediction

A huge day in Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s season as they aim to seal that all-important place in the top two. They could even finish as league stage winners if they won by a big enough margin here to leapfrog Punjab Kings on net-run-rate. But they’ll need to be aware of a dangerous Lucknow Super Giants, who boast players capable of the extraordinary, as we saw from Mitchell Marsh last time out.

Marsh struck 117 off 64 balls as LSG accumulated 235/2 in a 33-run victory over Gujarat Titans, opening the door for RCB. But replicating an innings like that is a tall order for any Lucknow player. There’s a lot of pressure on RCB following their loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad, but that defeat may well have focused minds and a bounce-back is expected. Therefore, consider backing them to triumph in this match.
