For the much-awaited clash between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), both teams have named key changes to their lineups. The home team RCB have given a debut cap to the South African all-rounder Wayne Parnell, who was signed up by the franchise a few days back. Meanwhile, pace guns - Mark Wood and Avesh Khan - mark a return to the Playing XI as LSG bench Yash Thakur and Ramario Shepherd.
Both teams are coming into this game after having eventful last games. RCB were heavily blown away by Kolkata at Eden Gardens on Thursday. Meanwhile, after getting a beating from CSK in Chennai, Lucknow outclassed Delhi at their home.
The home team has seated Michael Bracewell, Karn Sharma and Akash Deep after a poor game, bringing in Parnell, Mahipal Lomror and Anuj Rawat - who played as an Impact Player against KKR - into their team.
Meanwhile, they have varied options in their Impact Player substitutes in Suyash Prabhudessai, Akash Deep, Karn Sharma, R Sonu Yadav and Bracewell.
Lucknow, on the flip side, have kept the likes of Ayush Badoni, Daniel Sams, Prerak Mankad, Swapnil Singh and Krishnappa Gowtham as their Impact Player subs.
At Chinnaswamy, KL Rahul called it right for Lucknow, winning the coin flip on Monday. RCB will bat first; however, dew isn't expected to pour down later in the evening.
