RCB needs 1 win to secure playoffs while LSG must win all remaining matches to stay alive. A true do-or-die encounter with massive implications.
Won 5 of last 6 matches! Kohli's 7 fifties lead the charge. Strong batting + Hazelwood's bowling make them favorites tonight.
Pant's nightmare season continues (SR 99.92). Top-order dependence hurting them. Must win all 3 remaining matches for slim playoff hope.
RCB: Kohli (543 runs) & Hazlewood (15 wickets) LSG: Pooran (412 runs) & Bishnoi (economy 7.2)
RCB's powerplay dominance (avg 55/1) vs LSG's death bowling (economy 10.8). Middle overs spin battle could be decisive.
RCB (70% win probability) favorites but LSG dangerous when cornered. Watch for Pant's response to criticism tonight.
RCB win = playoff confirmed LSG win = tournament wide open Massive implications for GT, CSK & other playoff contenders too.
