Royal Challengers BangaluruLucknow Super GiantsIt is very early to comment on the teamβs performance but their win over Punjab Kings in the last over was intense. The good news for the team is that their batting lineup is on the right track with Virat Kohli in his best of the form. He is currently the 3rd highest scorer in the league with an average of 49.
In the middle order, the team is dependent on Anuj Rawat who has shown the ability to score quick runs. Their finisher Dinesh Karthik turned out to be the match-winner against Punjab and hence the team management wonβt be worried about the batting unit.
Even after making some changes in the bowling unit, RCB is still struggling with their bowling attack. Only Mohammed Siraj and Yash Dayal have been successful in delivering but Alzarri Joseph and in the spin department Mayank Dagar has been a failure.
Dinesh Karthik, Virat Kohli, and Mohammed Siraj are the key players in the team.
Predicted Lineup: Cameron Green, Dinesh Karthik, Virat Kohli, Rajat Patidar, Mohammed Siraj, Glenn Maxwell, Anuj Rawat, Karn Sharma, Mayank Dagar, Faf du Plessis, Alzarri Joseph
Lucknow Super Giants started on a poor note in their first fixture of the league. The bowlers were unable to stop the opposition from scoring a big number and the batters, on the other hand, failed to perform under pressure.
Skipper KL Rahul has shown positive performance but his top order partner Quinton de Kock has again come out as a failure. Deepak Hooda and Nicholas Pooran will be the primary players in the middle order. Pooran is the teamβs highest scorer as of now and carries an average of 64.
The trouble for Lucknowβs bowling unit started before the beginning of the IPL 2024. Mark Wood was declared and hence he was replaced by youngster Shamar Joseph. The team will be dependent on Mohsin Khan, Naveen-ul-Haq, and Krunal Pandya in the pace department. Ravi Bishnoi might come out as a trump card for the team in the spin department.
KL Rahul, Ravi Bishnoi, and Nicholas Pooran are the key players in the team.
Predicted Lineup: Krunal Pandya, KL Rahul, Ayush Badoni, Mohsin Khan, Ravi Bishnoi, Yash Thakur, Marcus Stoinis, Devdutt Padikkal, Quinton de Kock, Nicholas Pooran, Naveen ul Haq
Lucknow Super Giants have a clear void when it comes to their batting lineup. Their top order is unstable and the middle order failed to perform under pressure in the first fixture.
Royal Challengers Bangalore have a good depth in their batting unit with every player assigned specific duties. The hosts will get the benefit of Lucknowβs weak bowling attack as well. We predict a win for Royal Challengers Bangalore on Tuesday.
