Five half-centuries, two 200+ innings totals, a bowler missing a run-out, a wicket-keeper fumbling behind the stumps, batters running a bye and a mentor signalling the home spectators to keep shut – a lot of drama was on display during the last match between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore.

The two teams, however, will now clash in Indian Premier League 2023 Match 43 exactly three weeks after the aforementioned encounter. Scheduled to be played in Lucknow tomorrow, if this match manages to generate even a partial of excitement from their last match, fans are in store to witness another fascinating fixture in this generally high-scoring rivalry.
Going to be only the fourth match between them, Super Giants had won earlier this month after losing both the matches last season. It is worth a mention that Royal Challengers will be playing their first-ever match at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium on a Monday night.
It is worth mentioning that both these teams are comparatively comfortably placed in the first half of IPL 2023 points table. While LSG are at the third position on the back of winning five and losing three out of their first eight league matches, RCB are at the fifth spot after winning and losing four matches each thus far.
