It’s matchday five in the 2026 Indian Premier League (IPL), and defending champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will look to continue their winning momentum when they face a middling Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). This match #23 on Wednesday in Bengaluru between the third-placed RCB and the sixth-placed LSG comes with our prediction of RCB hitting the most sixes.
After four rounds of matches, RCB have six points (W3, L1) and are two points behind leaders Rajasthan Royals. Lucknow’s four points (W2, L2) put them in the mid-table and third in a subgroup of three teams on the same points tally.
RCB defeated Mumbai by 18 runs in a high-scoring game on Sunday at the Wankhede. It was the fourth successive game of this season that the defending champions have scored 200+ and achieved a second score of 240 or more.
Captain Rajat Patidar (195 runs, SR 214.28) seems to quietly continue his confidence from last season. Watch out for Jacob Duffy (six wickets), who is proving to be a smart signing.
Lucknow were brushed aside by Gujarat Titans by seven wickets on Sunday to continue their indifferent start to the season. They have posted two wins and losses each, never posting the same result in consecutive games.
No LSG batter aggregated more than 108 this season, while Prince Yadav (six wickets) remains their best bowler.
