Lucknow Super Giants vs Royal Challengers Bangalore (LSG vs RCB) Today Match Prediction Preview:
Welcome to the LSG vs RCB Today Prediction curated by Kheltalk cricket experts. Royal Challengers Bangalore are up-against Lucknow Super Giants in the 31st match of the TATA IPL, 2022 on Tuesday, 19 April 2022 at the DY Patil Stadium. Keep on reading for more information on the LSG vs. RCB game.
Lucknow Super Giants are showcasing some extraordinary cricket this season and hardly possesses any weak link in the system. They dismantled Mumbai Indians in the last game and finally, KL Rahul played like the old Rahul which we are used to seeing in IPL. He smacked his third IPL hundred and now is the tournament’s second-highest run-scorer. If we talk about weak spots then Lucknow is yet to find their ideal 5th bowling option as Dushmantha Chameera and Andrew Tye have failed to provide solidity.
They are up against Royal Challengers Bangalore who also is having a good outing in the tournament so far. Change of captains has worked wonders for the Bangalore side and despite not playing at best, they have clinched 8 points from 6 games. In the last game itself, despite losing early wickets, Glenn Maxwell and Dinesh Karthik took the team to 189 total which was an exceptional effort. Bangalore looks perfectly equipped as their bowling is also solid after the arrival of Josh Hazlewood and Harshal Patel.
Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore sit at 2nd and 3rd spot respectively and it will be an exciting encounter. Both teams have some exceptional talents but Lucknow has a big edge over Royal Challengers Bangalore as DY Patil Stadium has not been a good hunting ground for Bangalore as they have lost both matches here.

LSG to win
Lucknow Super Giants look extremely balanced this season and their results show that.
