Lucknow Super Giants will be squaring off against Royal Challengers Bangalore in their next IPL 2023 match on Monday at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.

The KL Rahul-led side will be coming to this clash after a thumping win over Punjab Kings, where they posted a huge total of 257 in 20 overs and won the match by 56 runs.

In their previous meeting against RCB, LSG won the match by 1 wicket in a last-ball thriller. As their star all-rounder Marcus Stoinis picked up a minor injury during the fixture against PBKS, there are chances that he might be rested against RCB.

The batting performance against Punjab was a testament to the firepower they posses. No total is safe when Kyle Mayers, Marcus Stoinis and Nicholas Pooran get going.
