The first match between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore was a nail-biting thriller that went down to the last ball of the innings, with LSG clinching victory by just one wicket. Now, the two teams are preparing to face off once again in the second match of the season. Currently situated in the mid-table, both Lucknow and Bangalore are vying for every point in their remaining matches as they approach the halfway point of the tournament and strive to secure a spot in the playoffs.
Lucknow Super Giants were brilliant once again operating like a well-oiled machine. Their batting was absolutely outstanding, but they now need to focus on their bowling. KL Rahul also needs to be mindful of his own strike rate when he strides out to bat. There will be discussions around Quinton de Kock and whether or not they play him in this match against RCB.

For Royal Challengers Bangalore, their middle order has been a worry all season and they have to find ways to plug the holes and get things rolling. There is a lot of pressure on Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell and Faf du Plessis and the rest of the batting has to step up and make themselves relevant.

The pitch at the Ekana stadium could well be batting-friendly, but the strip could also offer assistance to the spinners. With LSG boasting of a number of spinners in their side, we could well see a slightly dry surface. Captain winning the toss could well elect to bowl first considering there will be dew on offer towards the end of the second innings.
