RCB vs LSG: Live Score and Updates
Royal Challengers Bangalore host Lucknow Super Giants in an attempt to recover from a heavy defeat in the last game. The M Chinnaswamy Stadium will host match 15 of the IPL 2024. Refresh to catch RCB vs LSG live updates.
RCB vs LSG: LSG win an absolute nail-bitter!!
Just an unreal finish, incredible last couple of overs. Harshal Patel delivering the final over with 5 to defend did a remarkable job. He picked up Mark Wood and Jaydev Unadkat and got the equation down to 1 run off 1 ball. A super over was on the cards but Harshal missed a mankad chance on the penultimate delivery. And then DK fumbled on the last ball allowing an easy single!.. WHAT A GAME!!!
Royal Challengers’ bowling curse coming back to haunt them again. They had LSG 37/3 after powerplay , but leaked runs thereafter. it needed some power hitting from Marcus Stoinis to get LSG back in the contest. And after his dismissal, it was Nicholas Pooran showing the world why so many teams tend to break the bank for him!! LSG move to the top of the table with 6 points!
Badoni hits wicket!
Trying to ramp a ball, Ayush Badoni hits the stump and is hit wicket here! He hit four off the previous delivery and was trying to get half-dozen runs. LSG need 5 runs off the last over with Mark Wood and Jaydev Unadkat at crease! what an unexpected turn of events!…. Can we have a Super Over??
Siraj gets Pooran, big moment in the game!
RCB strike with a full-toss down the leg. Pooran tried it help it on its way but hit it flat and straight to Shahbaz! Nicky P has been nonchalantly flicking them all evening for six, but this time holes out to deep backward square leg. The stadium erupts, Is this a twist in the tale?… LSG need 24 runs off 18 balls with 4 wickets in hand.
RCB vs LSG: Pooran keeps LSG in hunt, stuns Chinnaswamy!
Pooran is striking well here. He has reached fifty in just 15 balls. The fastest fifty of IPL 2024, bettering Rahane. The req rate is under 9 RPO now. The game is in balance now with RCB leaking runs despite taking wickets. Harshal Patel has been taken for 35 runs in two overs. Last 5 overs have went for 80 runs.
LSG are 171/5 in 15 overs, 42 away from victory!
Stoinis-Rahul back in the hut!
..And Stoinis has perished in trying to release the pressure. It was bound to happen, but he has played his part here, 65 runs off 30 balls. Karn Sharma get the wicket.
And now Siraj gets KL Rahul! This was full on the pads, Rahul gave it a flick but didn’t have the timing on it. The LSG skipper never got going. Virat is delighted and rightly so.. his team is right back in the driving seat with those strikes.
LSG are 105/5, still 108 away from the target.
RCB vs LSG Mid-Innings Update!
Marcus Stoinis is looking dangerous at the moment. Overs 7-10 have costed 54 runs. Stoinis is batting at 59 runs off 27 balls. KL Rahul is struggling to get runs. LSG are 91/3 after 10 overs, needing 122 runs more. They have the firepower to get the job done with Pooran and Badoni still to come, and Stoinis attacking the bowlers currently.
Impact Player (RCB): Karn Sharma in for Anuj Rawat!
RCB vs LSG Powerplay Done : LSG 37/3
Lucknow Super Giants have reached 37 runs but have lost 3 key wickets. Not a start you make when you are chasing 123. Marcus Stoinis (11 off 9) is at the crease with captain KL Rahul (11 off 12). They need 176 runs more to win.
Parnell strikes twice in the over, LSG three down!
Parnell is casting a spell here. He gets the wicket of Deepak Hooda and Krunal Pandya in a space of three deliveries. Hooda looked to push it away on the off-side and got an edge on it. It seemed as if it died on the keeper. But the third umpire clarified that it carried easily as DK dived forward to take it. Krunal Pandya pushed at a length delivery to edge it to the keeper. LSG – 23/3.
Mayers chops on!
Siraj bowls one back of the length, Mayers gets an inside edge and chops it on the stumps. Royal Challengers strike early and get the big wicket. With the form he is in, Mayers could have hurt RCB!
Impact Player (LSG): Ayush Badoni in for Amit Mishra!
RCB vs LSG Innings Break: Faf-Maxwell deploy carnage in last 5!
Royal Challengers were strangled in middle overs, resulting in Kohli’s wicket. But Faf and Maxwell launched an brutal assault in the 14th over. This has been some hitting on display and all spectators have been thoroughly entertained. RCB have finished with 212/2 in their 20 overs. They have farmed 75 runs off the last five overs. The last 7 overs went for 108.
The target for Lucknow Super Giants is 213 in their qouta of 20 overs. With players such as Mayers, KL, Hooda, Pooran and Stoinis in their weaponary, they would be optimistic of chasing this. Can Royal Challengers stop them and get their second win?… The second innings coming-up with the answer!!
24-ball fifty for Maxwell!
Maxwell smashes Avesh Khan for two sixes on the bounce to reach his fifty. He has reached their in just 24 balls. Also the 100-run stand is up!
Unadkat goes for 23!
Faf and Maxwell has taken Unadkat down for 23 runs. The former hit him for 6,6,4 off consecutive deliveries. RCB are 183/1 with two overs to go. RCB racing towards 200.
Faf shifts gear, reaches 50!
Faf du Plessis played second fiddle to Virat and now has shifted to the aggressor. He reaches fifty off 35 balls. Maxwell is batting at the other end having scored 21 runs off 14 balls.
RCB vs LSG: Ravi Bishnoi smashed for 20 runs!
Faf and Maxwell have launched an assault. They go after Bishnoi, smashing him for 3 sixes in an over. One of them went for 115 m off the bat of Faf du Plessis. Bishnoi is taken for 20 runs and the over previous to this one went for 13 runs. Maxwell went after Mishra smashing him for one six and one four.
RCB are 137/1 after 15 overs. 5 overs to go.. how many can they get?

Fluent-fifty for Virat Kohli!
Virat is off to a fluent fifty off just 35 balls. He has fit 4 fours and 3 sixes. This is his 46th IPL fifty and and his second this season. He is batting at his fluent best right now!
RCB vs LSG: Powerplay Update
Virat Kohli has started fluently, creaming it through covers, inside out shots and a top-edged six off Avesh Khan. Faf is smartly rotating strike at the other end. Virat took on Wood in the final over of the powerplay hitting him for a four and a six, resulting in 14 runs off the over. RCB are 56/0 and Virat has raced of to 42 in just 25 balls.

Toss Update: Lucknow Super Giants have won the toss and will bowl first!
STAT: KL Rahul has scored 610 runs in 12 innings against RCB at a strike rate of 147.7. He has 3 fifties and 1 hundred against them.
There’s a little bit of grass on it. It’s a very mosaic-looking surface. Not much seam movement, not much spin. With the size of the ground, 200 here is a must. Small boundaries, good surface, I don’t mind runs on the board because I’m hearing no dew at all at this ground. So get runs on the board and if it’s over 200, you should be able to defend it…. Says Simon Doull in his Pitch Report.
Build-Up….
Royal Challengers Bangalore will play Lucknow Super Giants in the 15th match of the current Indian Premier League 2024 at the Chinnaswamy Stadium. Follow this feed to get all the updates from the RCB vs LSG clash. Must be mentioned LSG have never defeated RCB!
Notably, the Super Giants have won two of their three games so far and are in good form, but overcoming the Faf du Plessis-led team in their habitat might be difficult for the visitors. However, Lucknow will be optimistic going into the contest. KL Rahul’s form is indeed concerning, but the good news is that he always displays his worth versus RCB. Furthermore, Mark Wood is set to return to the starting XI. On the other hand, Quinton de Kock has returned to India following his international duties and is expected to start the innings with Rahul. In that situation, Kyle Mayers will almost certainly bat third.
Meanwhile, Royal Challengers faced a humbling defeat at the hands of Kolkata Knight Riders. In order to record their second win of the season, RCB must considerably improve with the bat. Virat Kohli and Faf du Plessis got them off to a fantastic start, but once they were dismissed, their batting unit collapsed like a house of cards. Other than David Willey, bowlers were pallid, indicating that RCB has a lot of potential for growth at the present.
