Royal Challengers Bengaluru vs Lucknow Super Giants prediction

Phil Salt swung the bat with great success for Royal Challengers Bengaluru against Mumbai Indians last time out, his swashbuckling 78 from 36 balls helping lead RCB to 240/4. Although the hosts made it competitive on a brilliant pitch for batting, RCB held on to win. The likes of Virat Kohli and captain Rajat Patidar also plundered half-centuries.

They now take on Lucknow Super Giants, who are coming off the back of a home defeat vs Gujarat Titans. Lucknow are clearly a chasing team, having won two games chasing victory targets and losing two defending a target. But chasing will be significantly tougher against this RCB side, especially when considering how easily they racked up runs in Mumbai and with RCB at home, they should be backed to win.
