Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will face each other at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, generally known as Ekana Cricket Stadium, in Lucknow on May 1 at 7:30 PM. While LSG have played eight matches and have 10 points, RCB have won four matches and stand at number six on the points table.
Marcus Stoinis, a former player of the Royal Challengers Bangalore, underwent a diagnostic scan for an injured left index finger during the Super Giants’ last game. Despite the lack of severity, the expeditious nature of the turnaround could prohibit his involvement in the upcoming match.
On the other hand, David Willey may be sidelined from the RCB’s final 11 after sustaining a foot injury during RCB’s last game. Nevertheless, the franchise has the reassuring alternative of Josh Hazlewood, who is primed to substitute for him.
As per the head-to-head record for these two teams is concerned, RCB – having played three matches against LSG, have won two so far. So, it will be KL Rahul’s turn to make it even with Virat Kohli’s boys by winning this match.
