The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) are under pressure to secure a win in their upcoming match against the Lucknow Super Giants at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore on April 2, during the 17th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024.
This is RCB's fourth match of the season, and they are currently in the 9th position with only 2 points from three matches, while Lucknow is in 6th place with 2 points from two matches. RCB needs to win this match to climb up the points table. Their performance against CSK, Punjab Kings, and KKR revealed significant weaknesses in their bowling attack. For today's crucial match in Bangalore, a city known for its batting-friendly pitches, RCB desperately needs a strong, experienced bowler.West Indies seamer Alzarri Joseph, who turned out to be an expensive buy over the last three matches, might be replaced. Star pacer Lockie Ferguson is likely to take his place. Also, RCB's batting lineup needs tweaking. Rajat Patidar, who has been struggling with form since the England Test series, might be benched for Suyash Prabhudessai or Mahipal Lomror.
