Lucknow Super Giants vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru
Tomorrow is the 50th game of the IPL, which will be played between Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Lucknow Super Giants. Of course, the match is most likely to win by Royal Challengers Bengaluru, advise all of you to make your bets on RCB for sure. On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants, with a poor game mindset and innings, have won just two games so far and are most likely to get out of the tournament, such are the teams that used to provide free points to the opposition.

Everyone knows that this match is going to be the onesided match for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, As if we just look at the point table then we will find Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the third rank of table and the Lucknow Super Giants in the last of the point table, and this prove that the Lucknow Super Giants team is a underdog team right now so I think definately the Royal Challengers Bengaluru will going to win in this match and going to have the second position in the point table.

Punjab Kings batting has been collapse in this match because they are struggling in this match and their score is just 128 with fall of 6 wickets in this match and Sunrisers cricket team is dominant in this match . Now , 106 runs are required in just 36 balls . Sunrisers players played well in this match and gave good target in this match and  Klaasen was top scorer but all players made 30 + runs in this match for the team and all team score was 235 in this match .Connolly and Jansen are present on the crease and are showing the capability to build a good partnership at this moment, as they require a solid stand to win this match since more runs are needed.

I have always found Punjab Kings strong but at this time they have been badly defeated in 2 matches and in today's match also it became difficult for them to meet the target for this the Sunrises bowler worked very hard and played with all their efforts and victory by 33 runs. Sunrises batsmen have played with a lot of effort and hard work they gave a strong target of 235 and Punjab Kings batsmen could only play for 202. Their big negligence was that they lost 7 wickets if they had tried on it, they could have completed this margin in a few balls. After victory this match Sunrises have made themselves stronger than Punjab Kings and have got points above them. They could not succeed in this they worked hard but Sunrises bowler did not give them the courage to score the next runs in any way.

I think battle between PBKS and SRH is not about revenge, it is about making the tactical changes, in my opinion. Some of Sunrisers wins may stem from them accessing their power play bowlers but Punjab is finding it difficult of middle order outslots as they can make use of that strength. Although Aclosed over previous game, SRH has tightened up with much good tone on their approach in recent games. Generally in high pressure situation, such as this one, middle of the order scenario can go either way, and in this instance, SRH would appear to be more of hungrier side to being one to come up with magic T20 crunch moment.

Punjab Kings shown a brave and modern cricket batting against a huge target of two hundred plus runs given by Hyderabad Sunrises but Punjab Kings lost this game. Hyderabad opens innings first and the openers gives a very solid start to the team through ultra aggressive batting and in middle order Klasen was so good and showing his class and aggression of batting by putting imapactful half century and Hyderabad put the huge target of two hundred plus runs on score board. Punjab kings batters are well known to chase these targets and they doing it a couple of time in this tournament and the openers was not so impactful but in middle order Cooper Connelly played like one man army and put a remarkable century and also Marcus was so impressive but Punjab kings don't chase the target and Sunrises Hyderabad won this game and goes to on top in point table.

In this match of the series, which was played between Hyderabad and Punjab Kings, the Punjab team tried their best to achieve the target given by the Hyderabad team, which we cannot say less because there is a player among them who scored 107 runs, which proves that they tried their best to achieve this target but still failed because on the other hand, the target was 235 runs. If you look at it, this target is considered a very good target in 20 overs. If the Punjab team could have achieved this target but could not, this match was written in Hyderabad's favor. All their players looked quite active, such as Heinrich Klaasen. Apart from this, there are many other players whose names are mentioned in this match and who performed well in this match. If the team win the match then the credit goes to all the player so they have won this match. The hard work and dedication of all their player is included.

RCB vs LSG coming up. Lucknow is already out and they are trying to screw Bangalore who seem low on confidence after their recent losses, but I am still expecting them to win since it is LSG after all who keep finding new ways to lose games.

Bangalore could overtake SRH based on NRR if they end up winning this one. Let's see if LSG can do something different here.

Not much hope from Lucknow but I'd prefer lower rank teams to play party popper and steal some points from table toppers.

This would make things interesting and struggle could be tight for the playoffs, otherwise brace for dead contests in last leg of season.

LSG internal management chaos and lack of intent may be just right remedy to overcome against as RCB confidence may be weak. But point here is not only about victory but way in which RCB can perform in middle overs where they have been regularly failing. Chase to overtake SRH on NRR is huge morale boost, but team must play with fighting spirit and not just survival one. I believe that Bangalore will be able to pick it up with ease as LSG is mentally out of competition now.

I will say here that not only that not much hope from Lucknow super giant team rather I will say that there is no hope for them in this match because royal challengers Bengaluru teams is much stronger in both condition batting and bowling . And on the other hand it gives us more confidence that the point table of the Indian premier League where we will find the Lucknow super giant team at the last row.

So at least from my end I can't make any confidence on the Lucknow super giant against the royal challengers Bengaluru.

I will support you in this because the way RCB has established itself by playing every game with efficiency and intelligence, LSG is not. This is what completely limits RCB power and success, so it will not be necessary to know RCB powerful in depth because LSG is already not able to bring them down in this game and even if they bring them down, there is no problem but it is not going to happen. There are many things to trust in RCB but LSG does not have that trusted core, so it will be super to complete this prediction here. Talking further than this will not be a question for LSG fans that can exist and answer and they can defend them.

...Cooper's century was epic, but in vain.

Sure, they didn't win but Cooper's century saved PBKS from getting nrr hit,so it wasn't in vain. Also should boost his confidence.

Meanwhile today, LSG has 3 players out due to 'little injuries', and eh Shahbaj Ahmed is in which infuriates me a lot.

No Mayank Yadav, no Mukul Choudhary — at least play somebody I could give two shits for.

Edit: ^ Mayank as impact nvm.

[virasog]

Hyderabad batsmen know very well that if they want to win against Punjab, they must score big. Punjab's batting order is very strong. And Hyderabad's batsmen are batting with the aim of giving a big target.

Yesterday the match was set at Hyderabad and as we all know that the pitch of Hyderabad is so good only when you are batting and the challenge for the fast bowlers, the pitch is flat so that the batsmen can take advantage easily especially who bats first and with the passing time, the pitch slowing changes its condition but if you are an good batsman and knows how to balance every condition, you will be the man here. That's the main reason Sunrisers Hyderabad scored 235, and Punjab Kings also reached close but it's still a hard challenge.

Some false shots but for most part clean hitting from Marsh And my wise asses didn't choose Marsh for super over against KKR; not sure what Kulkarni is doing though, just dragging himself along. And this puppet noises, they are annoying af, should be banned of stadium tbh.

Ekana silent even on LSG hitting boundaries. Meanwhile RCB chants are heard.

76 from 32 balls were stopped by rain at Lucknow. Mitchell Marsh is doing his best to have some good in this season. Currently they are at the bottom; this is a shameful performance from them, but still hopes are high for stealing some points, which can give them an honourable end to this season. After a few minutes the covers are coming off, but LSG needs to keep things like they were doing before this rain.

Usually rain has a negative impact on batting. Now can they keep their momentum, or are things going to be under the control of RCB because they are also having a chance of jumping to the top of the league table? This could be great for them and their fans, as they are defending champions and have another good chance of winning.

[Bitcoin_people]

LSG did great against RCB today they have really amazing batting even though the game is currently stopped due to rain. LSG team scored 95 runs in 9 overs Arshin Kulkarni and Mitchell Marsh have scored 93 runs in partnership. Mitchell Marsh scored 76 runs in 32 balls his batting performance today was amazing he will try to score a century today if the game resumes after the rain. However LSG performance against RCB in today's match was very good especially in batting. However RCB team is in good form now and they will play great against LSG to win.

Looks like they might screw over Bangalore thanks to Marsh playing some epic cricket though the newbie struggled quite a bit. 220+ could pose a problem for RCB considering the recent shit form of many of their players. They are done if Kohli departs early.

Centurion Marsh is putting on a show.

Valid point. Cooper did help reduce their NRR damage. On the other hand, Shahbaz Ahmed is a trash player while Rathi is far better in comparison.

The way things are looking rain might not even allow play to finish. But, if match continues, kind of agree, Bethell is not as good as Salt. Kohli getting out early destroys that confidence from rest of team mates, though I feel that only Jitesh Sharma is out of form others are fine.

Rathi is playing though. But, he just don't have same charm as last season. Almost as if, they cut his balls off.

LOL.. Shahbaz Ahmed is the special type of allrounder who can neither bat, nor bowl. BTW, he has been playing in the Indian Premier League ever since 2020. he has a batting average of 19.31, at a strike rate of 120.68. Grand total of 560 runs from 60 matches. As far as bowling is concerned, he has an average of 43.40, and has taken 22 wickets from 60 matches. Economy rate is 9.64. I find it very difficult to believe that the Lucknow Super Giants spent huge amount of money to get him to the team. BTW, it will get interesting if overs gets cut short due to rain interruption. LSG are at 145/1. The fact that they lost only one wicket till now will put them in advantage.

The match is being delayed due to rain. The match will  probably resume in a while. I would have been happy if the match had not been delayed. The match was quite exciting. LSG's batsmen  are playing quite well. Especially Mitchell Marsh is still unbeaten at the crease with 109 runs. LSG lost only one wicket in 14.4  overs and managed to score  149 runs. It will not be  difficult for LSG to give a target of  220+ if the match is played in 20 overs. On the other hand, bangalore's batting order is also strong. They have the ability to win a big target.

[wiss19]

The first break brings a wicket for RCB; now the second break can give them something like this because now they need it at the end of 14 overs. Having 145 for 1 is an impressive workout by LSG at home, but this rain is killing their hard work and century of Mitchell Marsh.

If the match has completed 20 overs this could be interesting because from here LSG can do good runs; this could be important for them. They are looking for a few points that give them confidence, while RCB is now having nothing to do but keep going and have a spot in the playoffs. Rain is again mean; the wait is going to be long for fans.

Match enters into an interesting phase after the break. Mitchell Marsh has departure orders through Josh Hazlewood, but Rishabh Pant and Pooran are on the crease. This gives good favor to LSG because they are still doing a good job and have a good chance in these overcast conditions.
 
Bhuvi has done a good job for RCB. Now the last over is going to be bowled by Rasikh Salam. He did a good job in the first 3 deliveries, but the last 3 deliveries produced 14 runs. These help LSG for having 209 on board now; in a few minutes, RCB are going to start the chase with some changes due to rain.

Is there a chance for rain? I am just tracking the score on Cricbuzz, and they said it's a slight drizzle. On a journey and network here still at 2G in hill ranges.

Mukesh Ambani should install some towers here too, rather than wasting money on reviving MI.

D/L says RCB needs 213 to win this match.
