Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will take the field for the fourth time today (April 2) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season as they host Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the 15th match. They have lost two out of three matches so far and will be keen on returning to winning ways soon. Meanwhile, LSG have won and lost a game each and are coming off a solid win over Punjab Kings in their previous game.
RCB, once again, are struggling with their bowling attack as they conceded 186 runs in less than 17 overs against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Even LSG have some of the best hitters in their line-up and the bowling attack has to step up for RCB at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. As for LSG, they continue to fret over KL Rahul’s fitness who is likely to play as an impact player yet again with Nicholas Pooran to lead the team on the field.
