The side will head into this game after a confidence-boosting win in the previous game. They are one of the two teams so far this season with 8 points. They are eyeing now to get to 10 points.
LSG have chopped and changed their playing XI so far in the first six games. They have managed to win games but it does seem like they are yet to find the right combination. Mark Wood has played just four games and strangely Quinton de Kock has not played any so far.

Lucknow have preferred Kyle Mayers over Quinton De Kock for the first six games now and might be preferred in this game as well. Wood also has played just four games so far. He did not play the last game and it will be interesting to see if he is brought into the XI for this game.
The IPL is back to its home and away format with the home teams looking to win all their matches at home. This is a good opportunity for RCB to notch up their third win at home. The venue provides more help to the spinners than the pacers and thus the pitch will be an exciting prospect.
Each franchise will play five teams twice and four teams just once in the IPL 2023 season. The top 4 teams in the points table after the league stage will secure playoff spots. Delhi Capitals, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Punjab Kings are among the three franchises from the original teams to never have won the IPL. In this article, we take a look at LSG’s probable playing Xi against GT.
