IPL 2022, LSG vs RCB Live Score Updates: Lucknow Super Giants face Royal Challengers Bangalore in Eliminator 2 of the ongoing IPL 2022 playoffs at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Debutant LSG have been consistent throughout the season, and finished third in the points table.
Lucknow Super Giants have a slight advantage over Royal Challengers Bangalore going into their IPL 2022 Eliminator at the Eden Gardens on Wednesday, feels former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif. Kaif said that the KL Rahul-led side have the better bowling attack among the two teams and also have the edge when it comes to batting. LSG had finished third on the IPL 2022 points table in the league stage, while RCB managed to qualify for the knockouts by the skin of their teeth with a 4th place finish that was confirmed only after the penultimate league match.
The KL Rahul-led Lucknow Super Giants will take on Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Eliminator of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata, on Wednesday. Having finished third in the points table, LSG would look to win against RCB and qualify for the Qualifier 2, to be played in Ahmedabad on Friday. LSG skipper KL Rahul and wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock are in fine form with the bat while Mohsin Khan is getting better with each game. LSG would hope for all the three departments to click in unison against RCB.
LUCKNOW SUPER GIANTSStrengths: A productive and destructive opening pair in KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock. Together they have scored 1039 runs and have made the Powerplay overs count with rapid stands. A varied pace attack of Avesh Khan, Mohsin Khan, Dushmanta Chameera and Jason Holder always allows them to attack. Weaknesses: An untested middle order. Most of the run-scoring has been done by Rahul (3x50, 2x100), de Kock (3x50, 1x100) and Deepak Hooda (4x50). Between them they have 10 of the 12 fifties scored by the franchise. Evin Lewis and Ayush Badoni have scored the other two. Opportunities: For LSG to make better use of Marcus Stoinis. The square-shouldered Victorian hulk has faced only 97 balls in 9 innings, hitting seven fours and 12 sixes. Seven times he has batted after the 14th over. 17 balls vs Royals is the most deliveries he has faced in an innings. Threats: They are a bat-first team and in a tricky chase, if Rahul, or de Kock or both fall early, the batting could implode. A closer look at the games LSG have lost will tell you that when both fail, they have lost the match. Time for Holder, Krunal and Gowtham to contribute more.
RCB clinch a last-four berth in this IPL, but the Faf du Plessis-led side will be on their own, with no second chance on offer, when they face Lucknow Super Giants in the Eliminator at the Eden Gardens on Wednesday. The posts that went viral on social media highlighting RCB's celebrations shows how keen the side is about making it count this time. After all, they perhaps remain the biggest under-achievers in IPL history. Making the playoffs for the first time since 2016, RCB will be hungry to get their hands on the coveted trophy for the first time after having finished runners-up thrice. They have placed third and fourth twice.
