Although the game could resume and take place between showers, meanwhile, both the teams would be hoping to get a complete game as they won't be looking to share any points at this stage of the IPL 2023.
Thus far in the match, the Lucknow spinners have had the edge over the RCB batters, who have been scoring runs at 6.07 RPO.
Captain Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli started off cautiously for the visiting team and stitched a brilliant opening stand on a tricky pitch. However, as luck would have it, RCB lost Kohli at 31 off Ravi Bishnoi, who later snapped Glenn Maxwell at 4 off 5 balls.
Bangalore's experiment of playing Anuj Rawat didn't pay off, while Suyash Prabudessai got removed by Amit Mishra.
