The Royal Challengers Bangalore will square off against the Lucknow Super Giants in the 15th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023. The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru will play host to this high-octane contest.

Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated Mumbai Indians comprehensively in their opening game of IPL 2023 but failed to carry forward the winning momentum as they suffered a loss in their next game against the Kolkata Knight Riders.

Bowling first, David Willey and Karn Sharma picked up two wickets each but the other bowlers went on a journey as the Knight Riders posted 204 on the board. None of the batters got going in the chase as they got bundled out on 123 to lose the game by 81 runs. The Royal Challengers need to execute their plans perfectly to get back to winning ways.

Lucknow Super Giants, on the other hand, got back to winning ways in their previous outing. They won their opening fixture but lost their next against the Chennai Super Kings. LSG brought their A-game against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in their next fixture to grab their second win.

The Super Giants bowled brilliantly and restricted the Sunrisers to 121/8, with Krunal Pandya finishing with figures of 3/18 in his four overs.

In response, KL Rahul (35) and Pandya (34) contributed as they chased down the total with four overs to spare to win the game by five wickets. They will be looking to carry forward the winning momentum when they take RCB on Monday.
