RCB vs LSG Live Score: Lucknow’s Bowling—A Weak Link?
RCB will look to make full use of the home conditions in their next three matches played at their home ground. However, will they face any significant challenge from the Super Giants’ bowling attack at the Chinnaswamy Stadium? For LSG, experienced Indian pacer Mohammed Shami, along with Prince Yadav and Digvesh Rathi, have delivered impressive performances so far. Despite the bowlers’ strong showing, LSG currently sits at the seventh spot on the points table—primarily due to the disappointing performance of their batsmen. The batting lineup, led by Rishabh Pant, has yet to find its rhythm. Captain Pant himself has managed to score only 103 runs across four matches, striking at a rate of 130.

Virat Kohli (strike rate 162), Phil Salt (178), Rajat Patidar (214), Tim David (221), and Devdutt Padikkal (201) have posed a formidable challenge to the bowlers of every team in IPL 2026. Together, these five batsmen have smashed a total of 52 sixes across four matches. So far in this IPL season, RCB has hit the highest number of sixes. Meanwhile, their bowling unit is also performing reasonably well. The team left Josh Hazlewood out of the Playing XI in the previous match, and it is anticipated that he will not play against Lucknow either.
