LSG vs RCB Live Commentary
LSG vs RCB Match Preview
RCB, led by Rajat Patidar, are third with eight wins and four losses in 13 matches. They need a victory to secure a top-two spot and a direct path to Qualifier 1. Their batting firepower, driven by Virat Kohli’s 548 runs at a 145.36 strike rate and Phil Salt could determine the fate of the match. However, RCB are likely to be without Tim David who suffered a hamstring injury. Their ace pacer Josh Hazlewood has also rejoined the squad. Whether he plays is a big question mark.
LSG, under Rishabh Pant, have had a mixed season with six wins and seven losses. But their recent 33-run victory over Gujarat Titans boosted their confidence. Despite their elimination, LSG’s strong home record and players like Nicholas Pooran, who excels in the middle overs, pose a threat. However, LSG will be without Aiden Markram, who was in excellent form. The South African left for national duties. Shardul Thakur is also unlikely as he will travel to England for India A matches.
