LSG vs RCB Match Prediction - Apr 19, 2022

IPL 2022 has been filled with exciting matches and there is really no 'weak' team in the entire tournament. Just one match separates teams from the 2nd to the 7th position at the moment and so the league table is going to keep changing till the very end.

This next match is going to be played between the Lucknow Super Giants and the Riyal Challengers Bangalore teams. LSG and RCB have both won four out of the six matches that they have played so far and have been quite impressive.

The IPL betting sites have LSG as the slight underdogs to win this match. We have seen multiple times already, though, that any team is capable of beating the other this season. Let us try and analyze what the best betting strategy should be.

Match prediction and IPL betting tips for LSG vs RCB IPL 2022. The match is going to be played at the Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai on the 19th of April 2022.

LSG vs RCB Team Previews

Lucknow Super Giants

LSG won its previous match against MI thanks to a brilliant century from KL Rahul. He is in good form and has been getting the big scores that his team needs. The batting for LSG has also been strengthened by the addition of Marcus Stoinis to the lineup. We have only seen glimpses from Stoinis so far but make no mistake, this is one player that can make a match-winning impact at any stage of the game.

Quinton de Kock, Manish Pandey, Deepak Hooda, Ayush Badoni, and Jason Holder are all dangerous batters and help form a strong lineup. Apart from Rahul and de Kock, there are no big T20 names in the lineup and this lack of batting firepower is somewhat reflected in the stats.

Only 39 sixes have been hit by LSG in IPL 2022 so far, seventh out of ten teams, and it does appear that you can bet against them in the 'Most Sixes' betting market.

The bowling attack for LSG is not the most convincing. We rate Ravi Bishnoi very highly and he is always difficult to score off but he is not getting too many wickets. Avesh Khan has picked up 11 wickets, the most for any LSG bowler but he is expensive and we think a good batting lineup could really make him pay.

Dushmanth Chameera, Krunal Pandya, Deepak Hooda, and Jason Holder round off a decent bowling attack but this is not an attack that is going to worry any good batting side. Krunal Pandya's record against Virat Kohli is quite good and that might be one match-up to watch out for.

Royal Challengers Bangalore

RCB owes a vast majority of its success to Dinesh Karthik at the moment. There is no Indian player that is performing the role of a finisher better than him in IPL 2022. In fact, out of all players, maybe Shimron Hetmyer is the only other batsman that can claim to be doing as good a job as Dinesh Karthik.

Dinesh Karthik has been out just once so far, has scored 197 runs with 14 sixes, and is striking at a rate of over 200. That is just insane.

The reason we are talking so much about him, though, is that Faf du Plessis, Virat Kohli, and Anuj Rawat are not performing well at all. Glenn Maxwell, Shahbaz Ahmed, and Dinesh Karthik are the three best batters for the team at the moment.

If you follow form, the betting strategy should be to bet against the RCB top order and put your money on the middle-order scoring runs.

A strong bowling lineup with Josh Hazelwood, Harshal Patel, and Wanindu Hasaranga gives RCb a slight edge in this contest, though. As far as bowling strength goes, RCB is better than LSG for sure.

LSG vs RCB Toss Prediction

The team that wins the toss is going to want to chase first. That has been the preferred strategy so far as teams are worried about the dew. The last four matches at the DY Patil Stadium, though, have seen two being won by the team batting first and two by the team that has chased.

Pitch and Conditions

The conditions in Mumbai are not going to change much as far as the weather goes. Thankfully, the same looks to be true for the pitches so far. There has been a lot of bounce and pace for the batsmen to work with allowing attractive strike-play and high-scoring matches.

We think another match where 170-180 is a par total looks likely.

LSG vs RCB Betting Tips

We are going to bet on the Lucknow Super Giants to win. They are being priced as the underdogs in this contest and we think that is a mistake. LSG has a strong top order with players in good form. Its bowling has also outperformed expectations and we have seen the middle order make some great contributions.

If you take Dinesh Karthik out of RCB this season, it batting has been quite poor. We don't think Karthik is going to be able to bail out RCB match after match.
