IPL 2023, Match 43, LSG vs RCB: Royal Challengers Bangalore won the match by 18 runs.
RCB have somehow managed to score 126/9 after 20 overs. That's brilliant bowling from LSG bowlers.
Veteran spinner Amit Mishra cleaned up du Plessis and a brilliant catch by Krunal Pandya did the rest. RCB are struggling now as they are five down now.
Karthik and Faf are batting currently and DK got a boundary here off Naveen-ul-Haq. That was a fantastic pull shot.
Rain has come into play now as the game has been stopped. RCB are 93/4 after 15.2 overs.
After losing two wickets at regular intervals, Maxwell also departed and RCB are reeling in this clash against Lucknow but their run rate is fine.
Faf du Plessis got a six here against Naveen-ul-Haq. It was an outside-off delivery and Faf lofted it all the way over long-off and got the result.
Kohli and du Plessis have started the proceedings for RCB. Kohli started with a boundary on the first ball off Krunal Pandya.
Royal Challengers Bangalore (Playing XI): Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis(c), Anuj Rawat, Glenn Maxwell, Mahipal Lomror, Dinesh Karthik(w), Suyash Prabhudessai, Wanindu Hasaranga, Karn Sharma, Mohammed Siraj, Josh Hazlewood.
Lucknow Super Giants (Playing XI): KL Rahul(c), Kyle Mayers, Deepak Hooda, Marcus Stoinis, Krunal Pandya, Nicholas Pooran(w), Krishnappa Gowtham, Ravi Bishnoi, Naveen-ul-Haq, Amit Mishra, Yash Thakur
Faf du Plessis: 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.
KL Rahul: 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.
Royal Challengers Bangalore won the toss and opted to bat first.
