RCB Playing 11 for Lucknow Super Giants vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, Match 43 of IPL 2023; Top Picks, Fantasy Cricket Tips for LSG vs RCB Dream11 Team Prediction

The upcoming match of IPL 2023 will see LSG taking on RCB on their home ground as they look to avoid a hat-trick of losses on the same venue. The match os scheduled to be played on Monday, May 1, 2023.

However, LSG are coming into this game after registering a big win against Punjab Kings. Meanwhile, RCB has suffered back-to-back losses under the stand-in skipper Kohli, and their vulnerabilities were exposed in their home game against KKR.

RCB’s over-dependence on their top 3 players cost RCB the game against KKR as none of the middle-order batters could step up under pressure. The pitch at Lucknow has been on the slower side which will be more concerning for the out-of-form batters.

The RCB lineup has some quality bowling options, with Mohammad Siraj picking up wickets consistently in the powerplay and Harshal Patel having a good time at this venue with his slower balls. Another key bowler to watch out for in the RCB lineup is Wanindu Hasaranga.

It will be an exciting contest between two sides on a tricky surface in Lucknow, and the team that executes its plans better on the field will emerge victorious.
