🏏IPL 2023: Match 15 - LSG vs RCB on 10/04/23 at 7:30 PM IST 🏏 - Page 3

What can RCB do better? Their bowling line up looks wafer thin in the absence of Hasaranga and Willey. But it might change today. Their top-order looks sorted but does DK and Maxwell will have a lot of responsibility to burden in the middle and death overs in case of a poor start. Is Harshal Patel a spent force? A few rhetorical and blunt questions stare them.

Pitch Report | Simon Doull: It's the exact same pitch which was used for the Mumbai Indians-RCB game. The hard length worked for the pacers. I don't think it's going to turn much, hasn't changed a lot from last week. There's a little bit of grass on it. It's a very mosaic-looking surface. Not much seam movement, not much spin. With the size of the ground, 200 here is a must. Small boundaries, good surface, I don't mind runs on the board because I'm hearing no dew at all at this ground. So get runs on the board and if it's over 200, you should be able to defend it.

Honestly if the first batting team puts anything less than 200, would just lose half the match before the 2nd innings itself in Chinnaswamy.

What can LSG do better? Rahul is yet to step up. Stoinis has been a bit of a let down. How does QDK come in? These are a few things LSG need to look after.

Will it be KLR's day today? He is from Bangalore so he is basically local guy he can be threat today

The cauldron today will see a lot of red and black. The Chinnaswamy would be buzzing and supporting their home team. Just the shot in the arm that RCB needs and a good batting surface as is the case mostly will see the batters of both teams trying to arm wrestle their way to a win. Whose muscles will be flexed more is what we wait for!

Thanks for the tag Madhuri

Ganesh adds - Avesh, Mayers and Stoinis have marked their run-ups as well. QDK to continue waiting?

todays toss prediction?

6.50pm Just 14 matches into the season, the trend of quicker runs - especially in the powerplay - was noted by Matt Roller in his analysis piece. He says it has been a wham-bang season so far. And with the Impact Player rule and flat pitches at the start of the season, batters are attacking more than ever, and it's showing in the numbers.
