For match number 15 of IPL 2023, the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will be hosting Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Monday evening at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
KL Rahul’s LSG won both of their home games, vs DC and SRH, on either side losing to CSK in Chennai and sit 3rd on the points table. A victory today over Royal Challengers Bangalore will take LSG to the top of the points table.
Bangalore Based Franchise started their tournament with a bang – an 8-wicket thumping win over the depleted Mumbai Indians. However, they succumbed to a thumping loss at the hands of KKR then.
Wanindu Hasaranga is available for RCB, Mark Wood to return for LSG:
A big boost for Royal Challengers Bangalore is that Wanindu Hasaranga has landed in India and is available to play today’s game. He’s likely to replace Michael Bracewell, but that would weaken their already brittle middle order. Josh Hazlewood is still in Australia recovering from a foot injury. Wayne Parnell has replaced the injured Reece Topley in the squad, but is unlikely to play.
Mark Wood and Avesh Khan, both of whom didn’t play in the last game, are expected to return for LSG. Quinton de Kock was available in the last game, but didn’t play; he might replace Marcus Stoinis now.
