They have won just two from nine games, and are nearly out of contention for the play-offs after Monday’s six-wicket loss to Mumbai Indians.
In contrast, RCB are one of the consistent performers in their title-defending campaign. They are near the top with six wins from nine matches. However, their previous fixture ended in a four-wicket defeat to Gujarat Titans.
Previously, RCB defeated LSG by five wickets, chasing a target of 147 runs in 15.1 overs when the two teams met earlier this season.
