• RCB: Harshal Patel, Shahbaz, Vyshak, Bracewell and Sonu Yadav

KL Rahul(c), Kyle Mayers, Deepak Hooda, Marcus Stoinis, Krunal Pandya, Nicholas Pooran(w), Krishnappa Gowtham, Ravi Bishnoi, Naveen-ul-Haq, Amit Mishra, Yash Thakur

Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis(c), Anuj Rawat, Glenn Maxwell, Mahipal Lomror, Dinesh Karthik(w), Suyash Prabhudessai, Wanindu Hasaranga, Karn Sharma, Mohammed Siraj, Josh Hazlewood

It is just going to be hardwork on this pitch for both teams. Just one change. Avesh Khan misses out and K Gowtham comes in. Having played here twice, we know that spin will be used more than pace here. Just want to hold our composure during crunch moments. The only thing we spoke about is to not come with a fixed mindset and we gotta bowl well and restrict them to a low total.

We are gonna have a bat. There will be little more turn in the second innings I feel. I feel much better now. We got Hazlewood in tonight, and Anuj comes in for Shahbaz. Our squad is well-suited for these conditions. It is just about batting well tonight.

RCB have won the toss and have opted to bat 1st.

As for the weather, there is 11% chance of rain, according to Accuweather. A cloud cover less than 92% is expected throughout the match. Whether the match will be played for entire 40 overs or it will get shortened due to rain is something to watch out for.

The surface at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow is slow and expected to help the spinners mostly. It will get tough for the batters to get going and it will be tough chasing down a score in excess of 150. Even in IPL 2023, the average first innings score has been 152 in Lucknow.
