Lucknow Super Giants vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru prediction

Lucknow Super Giants remain rooted to the bottom of the table with just four points to their name and continue to really struggle. It’s now five straight losses for Rishabh Pant’s side and when you find yourself in a deep slump when playing a tournament of this intensity and high standard, it can be very difficult to drag yourself out of it, which the Super Giants are now finding out the hard way.

It certainly doesn’t get easier for them here as reigning champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru come to town. Despite the loss of batter Phil Salt through injury, they’ve remained a force this season with six wins from a possible nine leaving them still inside the top four with bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar having been excellent, picking up 17 wickets so far. Throw Virat Kohli into the mix and you have a team with all avenues covered. It would be a surprise if they did not pick up the two points here.
