RCB vs LSG Dream11 Prediction Possible 11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – IPL 2024 15th Match | RCB vs LKN Dream11 Prediction Today | Bengaluru Pitch Report

Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Lucknow Super Giants also met in the 15th match last season. That was an IPL classic, with Nicholas Pooran’s 19-ball 62 catapulting LSG to a magnificent chase of 213, achieved off the final ball with one wicket to spare.

The ball, as well as Avesh Khan’s helmet, copped a battering at the batting-friendly M Chinnaswamy Stadium. It’s rained sixes once again this season, with RCB’s bowlers struggling to cope in the conditions.

It will be interesting to see if Faf du Plessis’ team can get things right here. Virat Kohli has looked good, but others in the top five have not got going. Also, the attack has to find ways to keep what is a powerful LSG lineup in check.

Currently, both teams are outside the top four. LSG sit sixth but will move into the top four with victory here. RCB need to win as they sit second-last with two losses and a net run rate of -0.711.
