The 15th IPL match of the year is going to take place today, April 10th at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Kerala. After suffering a humiliating defeat against the Kolkata Knight Riders in the previous match, Royal Challengers Bangalore will be facing the Lucknow Super Giants today. The Super Giants have started their campaign with two victories and are looking strong, but they will have a tough time against the home team, led by Faf du Plessis.
In order to win their second match of the season, Royal Challengers Bangalore needs to improve their batting. After a good start by both du Plessis and Kohli, their batting unit collapsed after they were dismissed. Other than David Willey, the bowling attack looked pale.
Despite the poor form of KL Rahul, the team has a good chance of winning the match. Mark Wood is expected to return to the playing XI, while South Africa’s Quinton de Kock is likely to open the innings with him. Kyle Mayers is the most likely choice at the number three position.
