The upcoming 15th match of IPL 2024 will see Royal Challengers Bengaluru facing off against Lucknow Super Giants at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Both teams have had similar starts to their campaign, losing their first away matches but securing victories at their respective home grounds in the second match. However, RCB come into this game after a loss to KKR in their recent game, where they managed to score only 182 runs while batting first, leading to a seven-wicket defeat.
On the other hand, LSG will enter the match with confidence following their recent victory over PBKS. Batting first, Lucknow posted a total of 199 runs on the board, which they successfully defended on the back of an excellent bowling effort, especially from debutant Mayank Yadav, who picked up three wickets. The right-arm pacer delivered a lethal spell, with none of his deliveries going below a speed of 140 kmph. Earlier in the game, Quinton de Kock, Nicholas Pooran, and Krunal Pandya showcased outstanding batting performances. Pooran captained the team, while KL Rahul played as an impact player.
In the history of the IPL, RCB and LSG have clashed four times. RCB boasts a superior track record, winning three matches against Lucknow, while Lucknow has secured victory in one match against RCB.
