Pitch Report
A decent batting pitch awaits the two sides at the DY Patil Sports Academy despite there being ample help on offer for the bowlers. The pacers might get the ball to swing early on, keeping the batters restricted in the powerplay overs. The pitch can slow down a bit and bring the spinners into play as the match progresses. The average first-innings score at the venue in IPL 2022 is 171, with teams preferring to chase upon winning the toss due to the dew factor.
Today’s LSG vs RCB Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
KL Rahul: KL Rahul stormed back into runscoring form courtesy of a sensational hundred against the Mumbai Indians (MI) last week. The Lucknow Super Giants captain is one of the most consistent batters in IPL history, with his records speaking for themselves. Taking into account his good record against Bangalore, Rahul is a must-have in your LSG vs RCB Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Virat Kohli: Virat Kohli, despite being one of the most decorated batters in IPL history, is due for a big performance this season. The former RCB captain has failed to get going, often throwing his wicket away. However, a player of his class and ability cannot be kept down for too long, making him one to watch out for in this game.
All-rounder
Glenn Maxwell: Glenn Maxwell has shown glimpses of his explosive batting ability in recent games, even scoring a fifty against the Delhi Capitals last week. Apart from his ability against spin, Maxwell can hold his own against pace as well. With Maxwell likely to have a go with the ball too, he is a good addition to your LSG vs RCB Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Ravi Bishnoi: Ravi Bishnoi has been the go-to bowler for the Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2022. Although he has only picked up five wickets so far, his economy rate of 7.17 holds him in good stead. With the leg-spinner expected to have a decent match-up against the RCB batters, Bishnoi could pick up a few wickets today.
