Fantasy value from the Pitch Report

• Top-order batters will be safe picks. Run scoring has been easier with the new ball. As the game progressed, hitting through the line became difficult. So keep more batters from the top three of both teams in your fantasy XI. 
• Pacers with good cutters and slowers will be effective on this wicket. Spinners will also be beneficial picks.

RCB vs LSG Fantasy Cricket Tips

Royal Challengers Bengaluru Heavy Fantasy XI

• Virat Kohli has been the key batter for RCB in this tournament. He has shown consistency and will be the obvious choice in an RCB-heavy fantasy XI. 
• Faf du Plessis could be a decisive choice for the game. He has not looked at his best, so many fantasy players might drop him. However, a player of his class might regain his form on any given day and be the high-return choice. 

Lucknow Super Giants Heavy Fantasy XI

• Quinton de Kock roared back to form in the last game. This South African batter also enjoys batting at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, so QDK should be your go-to pick for the match. 
• The wicket at the Chinnaswamy Stadium will suit Nicholas Pooran's batting style. He enjoys the ball coming onto the bat, and that is precisely what he will get on this pitch. Pooran could be a decisive pick for the fantasy contests. 

RCB vs LSG Winner Prediction

After another average start to their campaign, RCB will be eager to get themselves back on track and script a different ending to the season. The home side will probably emerge as the winners in this game.

RCB vs LSG Top Player Picks

Virat Kohli has been in fine form in IPL 2024 [iplt20.com]

Virat Kohli (RCB)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 181 Runs in 3 Innings
• The Indian superstar has looked in fine form. Virat Kohli enjoys batting at the Chinnaswamy and is looking to cash in even more on his current form. 

Vyshak Vijaykumar (RCB)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 1 Wicket in 1 Match
• The young Indian medium-pacer impressed a lot with his skills in the previous game. Vijaykumar has a good idea of how to bowl at this wicket and would be a great choice in the fantasy contests. 

Quinton de Kock (LSG)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 58 Runs in 2 Matches
• The South African batter looked in good rhythm in the previous match. While Quinton de Kock will be looking to maintain his form, the wicket at the Chinnaswamy Stadium will aid him. He has an excellent record at the venue and will be a significant choice for the fantasy contests of the match.

Nicholas Pooran will be an important player for LSG [iplt20.com]

Nichols Pooran (LSG)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 106 Runs in 2 Matches

RCB vs LSG Differential Picks

Cameron Green (RCB)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 54 Runs and 2 Wickets in 3 Matches
• The Aussie all-rounder has underperformed so far in IPL 2024. However, coming to bat in at number three, Green will have the chance to turn the tides in this game. 

Marcus Stoinis (LSG)

• IPL 2024 Stats: 22 Runs 2 Matches
• Stoinis is having a below-average IPL 2024 season so far. However, if he gets an early chance to bat at the Chinnaswamy wicket, Stoinis could make a big difference in the fantasy contests.
