Preview :

Lucknow Super Giants will be squaring off against Royal Challengers Bangalore for the first time in the Eliminator match of this season of the Tata IPL. Lucknow Super Giants ended at the third position on the points table of this season of the Tata IPL whereas Royal Challengers Bangalore finished off at the fourth spot on the points table. It will be the second game between both teams this season. RCB won the first game by 18 runs after scoring 181 runs for the loss of 6 wickets. LSG won 9 out of 14 matches and missed finishing in the second position in the points due to a lower net run rate than Rajasthan Royals.

RCB’s batting has been struggling in IPL 2022 because of its top-order struggles. If that is solved then RCB starts to look like a very dangerous team. We, however, are not jumping on the RCB bandwagon just yet.
Virat Kohli may have scored runs in the previous match but whether that will unlock the Kohli of old is yet to be seen. He and Faf du Plessis at the top of the order can be quite traditional as an opening pair and eat up a lot of deliveries at the top.
The danger players are probably going to be Glenn Maxwell and Rajat Patidar with Dinesh Karthik coming in for the finishing kick. This is a batting lineup that can be put under pressure for sure.
RCB, though, has an excellent bowling lineup. Josh Hazelwood, Harshal Patel, and Wanindu Hasaranga are all having an excellent IPL 2022. Siddharth Kaul, Shahbaz Ahmed, Glenn Maxwell, and even Mahipal Lomror give RCB a number of different options to explore in this final match.

LSG showed just how good their opening batting lineup could be in the previous match as Quinton de Kock smashed 140 from 70 deliveries and KL Rahul remained not out with 68 as well.
While the partnership as a whole was great, KL Rahul did not really accelerate like he was expected to and as a result, the team just got to 210. Evin Lewis, Deepak Hooda, Manan Vohra, Marcus Stoinis, and Jason Holder formed the overseas players that played the previous match. LSG’s batting lineup is tremendous with the Eden Gardens probably providing a fast, bounce, and excellent batting surface, a high-scoring match is expected. This means that from a betting point of view, we can look to bet on their batters to score some runs.
