Royal Challengers Bengaluru are on the brink of securing their playoff spot as they face a struggling Lucknow Super Giants squad this Friday in the Indian Premier League. With momentum on their side, RCB has been formidable, winning five of their last six matches.
Meanwhile, for Lucknow, captained by Rishabh Pant, the story has been one of disappointment. Pant, once the highest-paid player at the IPL auction, has yet to find consistency. The team's reliance on top-order batsmen like Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram has not been enough to counter recent losses.
The game is a must-win for LSG, who must address both bowling and fielding deficiencies to halt the RCB juggernaut, helmed by the ever-productive Virat Kohli. The match will commence at 7.30 IST, with both teams eyeing crucial points.
