The prediction is interesting but it has clearly taken into contention the conditions on offer and how the LSG batters fared on it last time around. They were stuck in the middle overs, despite a good start and RCB can deploy Wanindu Hasaranga and in-form Karn Sharma to stranglehold the LSG batters who like good batting conditions and might struggle on a sluggish pitch. RCB are ahead in the race as they have batters who are well equipped to play percentage knocks and set or chase a par total. Highest Total in IPL History: Lucknow Super Giants Register Second-Highest Team Total, Post 257/5 vs Punjab Kings.
