The final group-stage match in the Indian Premier League will see the Lucknow Super Giants taking on the Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Tuesday afternoon. LSG are sixth in the standings, while RCB are third. Let’s get into the match prediction.
The Lucknow Super Giants will not be a part of the Playoffs, currently trailing the top four by four points with just one match left to play.
LSG did, however, produce an impressive performacne in their last match, setting GT a target of 235/2 and winning the match by 33 runs, to end their four-match losing streak since April 19.
Mitchell Marsh scored a stunning 117 runs off just 64 deliveries against the Titans, which now stands as the highest individual score in the competition this season.
Meanwhile, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru are headed to the Playoffs, but suffered an unexpected 42-run defeat to the Sunrisers Hyderabad on Friday afternoon.
That has left RCB in third place in the group standings and needing to win this match to move into the top two to earn home advantage in the knockouts.
These sides have met five times in the past, and RCB hold a slender advantage, having won three games to LSG’s two.
