LSG vs RCB: Ekana Sports City is all set to host Lucknow Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore for game number 43 of the ongoing 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League. Lucknow is coming into this match after a thrilling win against Punjab Kings. On the other hand, RCB suffered a defeat and got a reality check as their middle order got exposed against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR).
RCB Captain Faf du Plessis Won The Toss
RCB skipper Faf du Plessis won the toss and opted to bat first. Faf felt that the pitch might turn in the 2nd innings and thus he opted to bat first. He also gave an update about his health as he revealed that he is feeling much better now. He said:
“We are gonna have a bat. There will be little more turn in the second innings I feel. I feel much better now. We got Hazlewood in tonight, and Anuj comes in for Shahbaz. Our squad is well-suited for these conditions. It is just about batting well tonight,”
LSG captain KL Rahul revealed that they have made only one change in their playing XI as Avesh Khan has been replaced by K Gowtham. He said:
“It is just going to be hardwork on this pitch for both teams. Just one change. Avesh Khan misses out and K Gowtham comes in. Having played here twice, we know that spin will be used more than pace here. Just want to hold our composure during crunch moments. The only thing we spoke about is to not come with a fixed mindset and we gotta bowl well and restrict them to a low total,”
