Royal Challengers Bengaluru will face off against Lucknow Super Giants at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on Tuesday in the 15th game of IPL 2024. While LSG has won one and lost one so far, RCB has won one and lost two matches in the tournament.
Interestingly, LSG was led by Nicholas Pooran in the last game with full-time skipper KL Rahul playing as an impact player because of his workload management.
Pooran was able to lead from the front as he scored an attacking 21-ball 42 after Quinton de Kock scored a fine fifty. Moreover, Krunal Pandya added the finishing touches as he scored 43 off 22 balls.
On the other hand, RCB was not accurate with the ball and their bowlers were taken to the cleaners by Sunil Narine and Venkatesh Iyer.
