Royal Challengers Bengaluru will take on Lucknow Super Giants at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on Tuesday in the 15th match of the season. It has been another disappointing start for RCB as they lost two out of their three matches.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru: L W L
RCB’s bowling has been their kryptonite over the years and this season, it could once again be a problem. Mohammed Siraj, the team’s pack leader, hasn’t been in the best of T20 forms and he will need to deliver for the team. The batting also needs to come up with a more collective effort.
