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

Royal Challengers Bangalore will be taking on the Lucknow Super Giants in the 15th match of TATA IPL 2023 at Bengaluru.

This will be the third game for Bangalore this season, while Lucknow will be playing their fourth one.

Royal Challengers Bangalore lost their last match to Kolkata Knight Riders by 81 runs while Lucknow Super Giants won their last game against the Sunrisers Hyderabad by 5 wickets.

With two wins in as many games at home, LSG are building up to making their Lucknow a fortress in the early stages of IPL 2023.

However, they came up short in their only outing outside of Lucknow, in a high-scoring encounter in Chennai.

These two teams have met twice in the IPL so far, where Bangalore managed to win both games. Another cracking contest is anticipated here between these two sides today.

If their home domination was built on the back of their bowling strength on those pitches, high pace on the red soil and slower bowlers led by a resurgent Krunal Pandya on the black soil, their prowess to win a T20 game by out batting opponents remains a question mark as of now.

That could be a big part of the gameplay when it comes to conquering RCB on their home turf, given the size of the ground, that should help the power-hitters if the pitch plays to plan.

RCB have blown hot and cold in their two encounters so far in the tournament, but return to a site where they played impressively well against Mumbai Indians in their opening encounter.

The pitch then had brought their bowlers into play as well, with Mohammed Siraj setting the tone upfront and later being backed up by the likes of Karn Sharma.

This will be another interesting encounter between the highly competitive teams for which people are looking forward to watch.

Tactics and match-ups: The early battle against KL Rahul could set the tone for RCB. The opener has a positive match-up against Mohammad Siraj, getting 91 runs in 48 balls against the pacer. But there is a possibility that RCB could counter this by using spin, either left-arm orthodox or legspin, early against the batter. Karn Sharma has dismissed Deepak Hooda twice in 10 balls, which could also be on the minds of RCB when the first wicket falls.

Mark Wood is expected to take part in this game having missed the previous one at home, he had a fitness drill under the supervision of Morne Morkel on Sunday and had a bowl at the nets as well. Avesh Khan too had a bowl in the nets and is expected to be in the playing 11

Did you know:

- KL Rahul has three fifties and one hundred in 12 innings against RCB- In this season RCB have picked five wickets and been the most economical (6.33) in the Power play phase of the game

What they said:

"Look, we've got some good death bowlers. We know very well it's a difficult ground to bowl here, our focus is on trying to get wickets throughout the innings to hopefully make those death overs a little bit easier. We've seen that when guys get going, both in our team, and the opposition, it makes it very difficult to defend." - David Willey on tackling the death overs problem.

While both sides look to iron out the flaws, there will be the additional pressure of net run-rate on RCB following their heavy defeat. However, they have time and games to offset that.

With two wins in as many games at home, LSG are building up to making their Lucknow a fortress in the early stages of IPL 2023. However, they came up short in their only outing outside of Lucknow, in a high-scoring encounter in Chennai.
