The last time these two sides met, it was an absolute fireworks kind of contest. Both sides produced some wonderful batting efforts, but in the end, KL Rahul-led Luknow managed to pull off the 212-run chase.
Nicholas Pooran was the magic man for that contest, and he is in firing form this season as well. In the two games played, the Caribbean batter has scored 106 runs with a strike rate of 170.
Lucknow have a couple of other big options as well in their ranks. They recently unearthed Mayank Yadav, who straight away made it to the limelight for his raw pace. The speedster delivered a few thunderbolts of 150+ which will be a sight for sore eyes as these two sides meet once again.
On the other side, Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), though couldn’t start their IPL 2024 campaign on a strong note but they successfully managed to pull things up in the second game against Punjab Kings. However, the result of the third fixture remained worrisome.
RCB hasn’t been able to make the most of the home advantage, which has become a massive issue for them. Their batting unit hasn’t fired in unison as of now. The likes of Faf du Plessis, Rajat Patidar, and Glenn Maxwell are yet to ignite the fire. Moreover, Cameron Green, too, hasn’t matched up his reputation of being a big hitter.
However, there are a couple of bright spots in the batting department. Virat Kohli’s blade has done the talking and is expected to explode in the coming weeks. The finishers have also played their part fantastically.
