Strategy Outlook
Both the teams have good batting and bowling lineup. Royal Challengers Bangaluru have advantage of their home ground. They also have better batting lineup like Virat Kohli, Faf du Plessis, Rajat Patidar and many more but they should put their bowlers first if they win the toss. This will give them a extra edge to bring down target runs for themselves.
If Lucknow Super Giants win the toss they should put their spinners first to have better seam advantage and then pacers will be helpful to send the team to pavilion. If they have to pick the batting then they should put their aggressive batters first to score big runs as boundaries are shorter to create pressure over the opposite team.
It will be great to see both the teams competing against each other.
