Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 43rd game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Monday, May 1.
The Super Giants returned to winning ways in style as they thrashed Punjab Kings by 56 runs and notched up the second-highest score in the history of the tournament. They are currently placed third in the table with 10 points, having won five of their eight games so far.
After being asked to bat, Kyle Mayers (54) and Marcus Stoinis (72) ensured that the Giants finished with a mammoth total of 257/5 in 20 overs. In reply, Atharve Taide (66) led the fight for the home team, but it wasn’t enough as he failed to receive any support from the other end. Yash Thakur finished with four wickets, while Naveen ul Haq picked three.
RCB have played eight games so far and are currently placed fifth in the points table with four wins and as many losses. They are coming off a disappointing 21-run loss against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the previous game.
Bowling first, RCB bowlers failed to keep a check on the scoring rate as KKR posted a massive total of 200/5 in 20 overs. In reply, Virat Kohli (54) helped the team get off to a blistering start in the powerplay. However, the team kept losing wickets at regular intervals as they fell short of the target by 21 runs. Varun Chakaravarthy picked up three wickets for KKR.
