Highest Total in IPL History: Lucknow Super Giants Register Second-Highest Team Total, Post 257/5 vs Punjab Kings.
Lucknow Super Giants are coming out of a thumping win in their previous game where they absolutely demolished the bowling attack of Punjab Kings, scoring a mammoth total of 256. Kyle Mayers have been an surprise inclusion for them at the top and has played top knocks consecutively to keep Quinton de Kock on bench. Marcus Stoinis and Nicholas Pooran has also been relentless with their powerpacked performances. Ayush Badoni has batted in the top order with Deepak Hooda out of form and has been able to contribute at times. LSG's bowling has not been in the place they were in the previous season, but Mark Wood and Naveen ul Haq has lead the attack responsibly whenever they played.
Royal Challengers Bangalore are in a tough spot if it is to be considered. They lost a game they should have won against KKR and it once again exposed their vulnerability to spin, despite Chinnaswamy Stadium pitch being a deck that doesn't assist the spin too much. On the road, they will face much more surfaces that will be slow and low and far more challenging. The Indian batters including finisher DK has failed to deliver so far and RCB doesn't have many options on bench except Anuj Rawat and Manoj Bhandage to replace them.
