RCB is riding high with four wins in their last five matches (WWWL), including impressive victories over Chennai Super Kings and Delhi Capitals. Their batting unit, led by Virat Kohli, has found rhythm at the perfect time, and their bowlers have delivered under pressure.

LSG, on the other hand, are struggling with form. They have lost four of their last five matches (LLLWL) and were recently hammered by Punjab Kings. Their inconsistency in both batting and bowling departments has hurt their playoff chances. However, with quality players like Pooran, Marsh, and Stoinis in their lineup, they are still capable of an upset.

LSG vs RCB Playing XI Prediction

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB):

Virat Kohli (C), Rajat Patidar, Glenn Maxwell, S Singh, Lungi Ngidi, Harshal Patel, Josh Hazlewood, Phil Salt, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Liam Livingstone, Krunal Pandya, Romario Shepherd

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG):

David Miller (C), Mitchell Marsh, Ayush Badoni, Marcus Stoinis, Nicholas Pooran (WK), Deepak Hooda, Krunal Pandya, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Mohsin Khan, Aiden Markram
