 RCB vs LSG IPL 2023 Live Score: Lucknow win toss and Bangalore to bat first, confirmed playing XI and line-ups named

Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Lucknow Super Giants Live Score, IPL 2023: After a thumping defeat at the Eden Gardens RCB would be looking to get back to the winning ways and on the other hand, LSG would look to continue their winning momentum.

IPL 2023 Live Score, Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Lucknow Super Giants: Royal Challengers Bangalore will be expecting more runs from its batters and discipline in death overs bowling when they take on the high-flying Lucknow Super Giants in the IPL. RCB come into the match after a demoralising 81-run defeat against Kolkata Knight Riders and would be eager to return to winning ways at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium.

RCB bat deep. Openers Virat Kohli and du Plessis did the job in the win against Mumbai but against KKR, the entire line up was done in by spin. They would be wary against the Lucknow spinners, who come into the game on the back of their stellar display in the five-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad on Friday. Young leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi has continued to impress, taking six wickets, while veteran leggie Amit Mishra and Krunal Pandya have also played impactful roles.

In the pace department, England quick and the tournament joint leading wicket taker Mark Wood was down with flu and missed the previous game alongside medium pacer Avesh Khan, who injured himself. It is to be seen if the two are available against RCB. Lucknow, who have won two and lost one game, would hope their batters are more consistent. While Kyle Mayers has been outstanding, skipper KL Rahul and all-rounder Marcus Stoinis’ form is a concern.

RCB vs LSG: What to do after winning the toss?

Given the dimensions of the ground here in Banglore, it is always safe to bowl first and have a target in front of you to chase. So the captain winning the toss would be looking to bowl first. Also if dew comes in the second innings it might be difficult for the spinners to grip the ball and pitch be ease out for the batters and fielding might get difficult with wet outfield.
