Lucknow vs Bangalore - Eliminator 1 of IPL 2022, Predicted Playing XIs & Stats Preview

Lucknow Super Giants are all set to take on the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the eliminator of IPL 2022 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The KL Rahul side finished third in the points table and they are coming on the back of a nail-biting thriller against Kolkata Knight Riders in the previous game. The side is likely to bring back regulars like Krunal Pandya and Ayush Badoni for the upcoming fixture after being benched for their last league game.

On the other, Royal Challengers Bangalore finished off their league stage campaign in fourth place with a victory over the Gujarat Titans and also were helped out by Mumbai Indians to make it to the top four. The Faf du Plessis-led side was impressive in both the departments and the franchise will be immensely relieved with their talisman Virat Kohli returning to form. Mohammad Siraj might be brought back into the playing XI at the expense of Siddharth Kaul.

Pitch Report
Both teams will be looking to stack their side with a lot of spin options considering the Eden Gardens pitch traditionally but the cloudy cover might help the fast bowlers as well. Both skippers will be looking to bat first after winning the toss as any score above 150 is going to be difficult to chase down in a high-pressure encounter.
