According to the IPL 2022 schedule, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) take on the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in match number 31 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Tuesday.

Lucknow are presently in third position in the IPL points table, having won four and lost two of their six matches. Bangalore also have eight points, but are below Lucknow owing to an inferior run rate.

LSG will go into Tuesday’s match on a high, having defeated the Mumbai Indians (MI) by 18 runs in their previous match. KL Rahul led from the front with a sublime hundred and will be keen to carry on the great form.

Manish Pandey also scored a few runs on his comeback to the side, which will further please the franchise. Avesh Khan has been in excellent form with the ball.

Bangalore did exceptionally well to recover from 92 for five to post 189 for five and, eventually, beat the Delhi Capitals (DC) by 16 runs. Dinesh Karthik again led the fightback with a superb innings.

But they need contributions from the top three. With the ball, Mohammed Siraj’s return to form spells good news.
