Prediction Pathway: RCB to come good finally away from home
Preview:
The Royal Challengers Bangalore have been the perennial underachievers of the IPL, failing to live up to the lofty expectations from their star-studded lineup. However, if there was ever a time for them to turn the corner, it is now. An inconsistent run of form has left them languishing in 7th place, but a long stretch of away games could be just what the doctor ordered for Virat Kohli’s men.
Kohli and du Plessis have been in good knick, and the likes of Maxwell and DK have shown promising glimpses. The bowling, often RCB’s achilles heel, has been respectable if not world-beating. Harshal Patel has emerged as a canny operator, especially at the death, and Hasaranga’s variations could be ideal for the low and slow pitch at Lucknow. If RCB are to make a late surge for the playoffs, their next 6 games on the road will be pivotal.
LSG have been solid if unspectacular at home, with a watertight bowling unit making up for a hit-and-miss batting lineup. However, RCB’s top order seems well equipped to handle whatever is thrown at them. If Maxwell and DK can provide finish, and the bowling stays disciplined, Kohli’s men should have too much firepower.
Prediction:
I expect some nervy moments, but RCB to prevail in a thriller – around 160-165 should be enough on this pitch, and RCB have the batting to get there. Overall, this looks set to be a close encounter between two mid-table hopefuls. However, with conditions suiting and renewed belief, I predict RCB will come good finally away from home. They should have the batting to outgun LSG, and their bowling is capable of restricting them. It may only be a small step, but a win here could set them up for a late surge into contention. The prediction is RCB to win by around 10-15 runs in a nail-biting finish.
