Expert Mahadev Book Match Prediction—Who Will Win Today’s IPL Match?
- Mahadev Book If LSG bats first, they will be eyeing a big score. However, their top order has struggled in recent games, and it would not be surprising if LSG posts a total between 160 and 170. With the ball, they are unlikely to defend the modest total against the in-form RCB.
- If RCB bats first, they are expected to post more than 180 runs. Their batsmen are in top form and will be confident of posting a big total. RCB’s bowlers have also done well this season and will be confident of defending a good total by Mahadev Book.
Considering the current form of both teams, RCB will be the favorites to win the upcoming match against LSG.
