RCB vs LSG Toss Factor

The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru usually favours the chasing team and the team that will win the toss, will surely have an advantage in the game. Both teams have some quality batters and it is almost certain that the team that will win the toss, will chase with dew factor making it easy in the second half.


Scenario: If RCB win the toss

  • If RCB win the toss, they will look to field first and with in that case the likes of Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, Cameron Green and Maxwell are good picks. Kohli especially will be key pick with his superb chasing skills and we can expect RCB top order to fire while batting second.
  • As far as bowlers are concerned, the one who will bowl at the death while bowling first are good options. Siraj is a good option while Vijaykumar Vyshak is also a good choice after his impressive performance against KKR.

Scenario: If LSG win the toss

  • LSG are coming into this game on the back of a morale-boosting win and do have quality in both batting and bowling stocks. They would also like to chase after winning the toss, and in that case, KL Rahul, Quinton de Kock and Nicholas Pooran are must pick. Marcus Stoinis can also be a differential pick.
  • On the bowling front, Mayank Yadav impressed in the last game with his sheer pace and genuine wicket-taking skills. He is a must pick and along with him, Naveen-ul-Haq with his plethora of variations is a good pick.

RCB vs LSG Top Captain and Vice-captain Picks

Scenario: If Royal Challengers Bengaluru win the match

Virat Kohli (RCB)

Virat Kohli has scored 181 runs in three matches so far and is looking quite determined. He is a master chaser and if RCB bats second, he is most likely to get another big score, making him a great captaincy or vice-captaincy pick.

Nicholas Pooran (LSG)

Pooran displayed great power-hitting antics in the last game and Chinnaswamy is a perfect venue for him to go bang-bang again. He can bat anywhere in the batting order and he can excel even if rest of the LSG batters fail to make merry in this game.

Scenario: If Lucknow Super Giants win the match

Quinton de Kock (LSG)

Quinton de Kock scored a valiant fifty in the last match and is a high-quality batter. The pitch in Bengaluru is expected to assist strokeplay and QDK will cherish the true nature of the pitch. Also, he is a kind of batter who has the knack of scoring hundreds as well, and this could just be the game where he unleashes his full might.

Cameron Green (RCB)

The Aussie all-rounder has not lived up to his billing so far, but he is due for a big performance. He can provide points both with the bat and ball, and that makes him a good captaincy or vice-captaincy choice even if RCB end up losing this game.

RCB vs LSG High Risk, High Reward

Glenn Maxwell

Maxwell is the big-ticket player for RCB but has not fired so far. However, he is a genuine match-winner and he is due for a big performance. He will bat at 4, and if he gets going, he can provide truckloads of points but there is a risk associated because of his free-flowing nature which makes him a risky option as well.

Marcus Stoinis

The LSG all-rounder has also been a pale shadow of himself so far and it is high time he gets his act together. The flat nature of Chinnaswamy pitch provides him with a great opportunity to make an impact with the bat, and he can provide those crucial breakthroughs with the ball as well.

However, he has not been in good form in recent times, and he is always a bit of high risk and high reward category player for fantasy teams.

RCB vs LSG Stay Aways

Mayank Dagar

RCB are light in spin department this season and Mayank Dagar, the left-arm spinner has been their preferred choice. However, on a flat deck at Chinnaswamy is very unlikely to make a big impact and can be ignored in the fantasy teams.

Ayush Badoni

The right-handed batter has failed in both the games so far, and given his unsettled batting position, there is very less chance that he will make a significant contribution. There are plenty of other power-hitters in LSG camp as well and he might get demoted on a flat batting deck at Chinnaswamy.
