Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) will have the opportunity to race to the top of the points table on Wednesday, April 15, when they host Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium for the 23rd match of the ongoing 19th edition of the IPL.

RCB are currently third on the table, having accumulated six points after three wins and a loss in four games and have the best net run rate (NRR) 1.148 of all the participants. A win will help them aggregate eight points, putting them at par with Rajasthan Royals, but they can pip them on NRR. They are coming into this fixture on the back of an 18-run win over Mumbai Indians at Wankhede.

Meanwhile, LSG are seventh on the points table with two wins and as many losses and a net run rate of -0.427. However, they also have momentum on their side, having beaten Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens in a dramatic last-ball finish.
