Preview
In the 23rd match of the IPL 2026, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). Royal Challengers Bengaluru are currently in impressive form this season and recently secured an 18-run victory over the Mumbai Indians. Batting first, Bengaluru posted a formidable total of 241 runs, while Mumbai managed to reach only 222 in reply. The top order played a crucial role, with Phil Salt delivering a match-winning innings of 78. Virat Kohli and Rajat Patidar also made significant contributions, scoring 50 and 53 runs, respectively. In the bowling department, Suyash Sharma impressed with figures of 2/47 in four overs, while Jacob Duffy, Rasikh Salam, and Krunal Pandya chipped in with a wicket each.
On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants had a disappointing outing in their previous match, suffering a seven-wicket defeat against the Gujarat Titans. Batting first, Lucknow managed to post 164 runs, which Gujarat comfortably chased down in 18.4 overs. The batting unit struggled to build partnerships, leading to regular wickets throughout the innings. Aiden Markram was the top scorer for Lucknow with 30 runs off 21 balls.
Their bowling performance also lacked impact. Although Prince Yadav, Digvesh Rathi, and Mohammed Shami managed to pick up one wicket each, they were unable to make a significant difference in restricting the opposition.
