RCB vs LSG 3rd Match In IPL 2023: 64 league matches have been played in IPL 2023 and so far only Gujarat Titans have qualified for the playoffs, while the picture of the remaining three teams is not yet clear. Seven teams are still fighting for three positions. Meanwhile, the question is arising in the minds of many cricket lovers whether once again Virat Kohli’s and RCB and mentor Gautam Gambhir’s Lucknow can come face to face or not.
Both Lucknow and RCB teams are involved in the playoff race. A total of two matches have been played between the two in the season, in which Lucknow and Bangalore have won 1-1. In such a situation, both the teams can come once again. After coming in top-4, another contest can be seen between Lucknow and Bangalore. In both the previous matches, on and off field fans got to see a lot of entertainment. Let us know how there can be a third match between the two.
first equation
Lucknow will get 17 points by defeating KKR in their next and last match and qualify for the playoffs. Similarly, Chennai will also get 17 points by defeating Delhi in their last match. Although the net runrate of Lucknow is less than that of Chennai, in this case Lucknow will come in third place and Chennai in second place. At the same time, RCB will get 16 points by winning their remaining two matches.
RCB has to play two matches against Hyderabad and Gujarat. By winning both, RCB can reach number four in the points table, for this Mumbai will have to lose their last match. In such a situation, both the teams can play the eliminator match by staying at number 3 and 4.
second equation
Lucknow can reach second place in the points table by winning their last match against KKR with a good net runrate. At the same time, Chennai will be at number three even after winning the last match. Then Lucknow loses in the first qualifier to be played in Gujarat and Lucknow.
On the other hand, RCB should win both the matches and come at number four and win the eliminator match against Chennai. Then RCB will have to play the qualifier against Gujarat from Lucknow which they lost.
Third equation, clash in the final
Lucknow should qualify for the second number and reach the final by winning the qualifier against Gujarat. On the other hand, if RCB wins the first eliminator match by being at number four and then reaches the final by winning the qualifier against Gujarat, in this way both the teams can clash in the final.
