Lucknow Super Giants go head-to-head against Royal Challengers Bangalore in the 43rd match of the Indian Premier League at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow on 1st May, Monday at 7:30 PM IST.
Lucknow Super Giants were sensational in the last game, almost beat the record for highest total in the IPL. It was a runfest in the end as Lucknow went on to post 257 with the help of Kyle Mayers, Ayush Badoni and Marcus Stoinis. Super Giants ensured they bowled well and not give away too many in the powerplay as they picked up crucial scalps like Shikhar Dhawan, Sikandar Raza and Liam Livingstone cheaply. Lucknow in the end went on to win by 56 runs.
Royal Challengers Bangalore in the last game were ordinary. Bangalore dropped plenty of catches and as captain Kohli said in the post-match presentation they didn’t deserve to win the game. Bangalore were sloppy in the end field as they allowed Kolkata to get away and post a 200 plus total. With the bat, Kohli was the lone warrior as others perished cheaply and with Dinesh Karthik struggling with the form, Bangalore went down by 21 runs in the end.

Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow
The 43rd match of the Indian Premier League between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow on 1st May at 7:30 PM IST.
Indian Premier League will live stream on Jio Cinema app and website in India. The games will also be telecasted on Star Sports channels as well.
The pitch in Lucknow is a balanced one. As shown in the previous games this season. Lucknow pitch does play well in the first innings, but the first few overs is crucial as there’ll be movement around and the batters can go big at the end with wickets in hand. Average first innings score is around 157 and teams winning the toss will opt to bat first.
With how things have gone in Lucknow, teams batting first should make use of the powerplay. Last game Gujarat Titans with so much firepower only were able to put up 130 plus total and with pitch getting even slower, chasing anything over 140 will be very tough on this pitch. 5 wickets were picked up by pacers whereas spinners scalped 6 wickets in the last game.

Kyle Mayers has grabbed his chances so far with both hands. Mayers in the last game clobbered the bowlers that helped them set up a massive total on the board.
Ayush Badoni was a revelation last season, and he continues to impress this time as well. Badoni has been consistently coming in and scoring runs at a good pace.
Dinesh Karthik has had his struggles this season, he wasn’t able to finish games as well. Karthik was sensational for Royal Challengers Bangalore last season but not much this time.
With top three making the bulk of the scoring, Virat Kohli is one of them. Kohli at the top sets the tone and pretty much decides the fate of the batting in the end.
According to the Lucknow Super Giants vs Royal Challengers Bangalore today match prediction, Lucknow Super Giants are expected to get over the line and win this LSG vs RCB Dream11 Prediction.
