Royal Challengers Bengaluru continue their losing streak as they were handed a gut-wrenching 28-run defeat by Lucknow Super Giants.

Quinton de Kock and Nicholas Pooran starred with the bat for them. Chasing it, RCB had a good start but their chase got derailed when Mayank Yadav came into the attack. LSG closed down the game in their favour and secured their second consecutive victory. Mayank Yadav Becomes First Bowler in IPL History to Clock Over 155 KPH Thrice, Achieves Feat During RCB vs LSG IPL 2024.

RCB won the toss and opted to field first. LSG got off to a good start riding on Quinton de Kock and KL Rahul but Rahul got dismissed trying to accelerate. Devdutt Padikkal couldn't give impetus to the innings and departed too. First Marcus Stoinis and later Nicholas Pooran combined with Quinton de Kock on the crease to lead LSG to a competitive total of 181/5. RCB dropped a sitter of Nicholas Pooran and the Carribean star struck five sixes in the death to give momentum to the LSG innings.

RCB began the chase in a solid manner hitting a few boundaries. They received the first big blow when Manimaran Siddharth dismissed Virat Kohli. Faf du Plessis joined him soon after through a suicidal run out. Glenn Maxwell fell next trying to strike Mayank Yadav for a big shot. Mayank starred by bowling a fiery spell which completely derailed RCB's chase. Despite an inspired effort from Mahipal Lomror at the end, it was not to be for RCB and they were handed their second consecutive defeat.
