The reigning champions, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, will square off against Lucknow Super Giants at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru, on Wednesday. RCB have won three out of their four games and they have played fearlessly, especially with the bat.

Phil Salt, Rajat Patidar, Tim David, and Devdutt Padikkal have played with impressive strike rates, which have helped RCB in getting positive results.

On the other hand, LSG’s batting has been a bit circumspect, and they would want to turn the tables against RCB.
