Lucknow Super Giants registered their second win of the IPL 2024 season with a 28-run triumph over the Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Tuesday.

LSG put up a total of 181/5 thanks to Quinton de Kock’s 81 and Nicholas Pooran’s unbeaten 40-run blitzkrieg, before youngster Mayank Yadav’s three-wicket haul helped bundle RCB out for 153 in 19.4 overs.

But the concern for RCB has largely been their bowling department. Mohammed Siraj being the most glaring example while his partner Alzarri Joseph has been totally ineffective. The franchise hence might look to make some wholesale changes, bringing in Reece Topley or Lockie Ferguson against Lucknow.

LSG head into the game following a 21-run win against Punjab Kings at home. However, their major concern pertains to the fitness of Rahul, who came in as an Impact Player sub last match, with Nicholas Pooran wearing the captain’s armband. The major attraction will be Mayank Yadav who left one an all amazed, bowling the fastest delivery of the season.
