As we approach the final week of the league stage in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023, one team has secured their spot in the playoffs, while two teams have been eliminated from the race. However, the competition remains intense as seven teams are still in contention. A captivating scenario has captured the interest of fans and experts, involving the possibility of the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) meeting the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Eliminator round. This intriguing prospect relies on a sequence of favorable outcomes for both teams.
Any team that suffers a loss at this stage will be eliminated from the tournament. The race for the remaining playoff spots is tightly contested, and it is yet to be determined which team will join the Gujarat Titans in the playoffs.
RCB vs LSG in the Eliminator?
The encounter between the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) during the league stage could easily be considered one of the most remarkable games. It showcased an intense battle between the batsmen and the bowlers, accompanied by heated verbal exchanges among the players.
Despite the Royal Challengers Bangalore emerging victorious in the game, the main focal point of attention was the intense verbal altercation between Virat Kohli and Naveen Ul Haq. Furthermore, Gautam Gambhir also got involved in the exchange, leading to a situation that appeared far from amicable. Even after the match, the players continued to engage in social media banter, taking jabs at each other.
RCB and LSG encountered each other twice during the league stage, but following the incident, fans have been eagerly anticipating another showdown between the two teams. Interestingly, there is a genuine possibility of their paths crossing again, as both teams are in contention to secure a spot in the playoffs. If the circumstances align favorably, they could potentially face each other in the eliminator round.
In order for this scenario to unfold, the Royal Challengers Bangalore must secure victories against both the Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Gujarat Titans. Additionally, the Chennai Super Kings need to triumph over the Delhi Capitals, while the Lucknow Super Giants must suffer a defeat against the Kolkata Knight Riders. Furthermore, the Sunrisers Hyderabad should convincingly defeat the Mumbai Indians, and the Punjab Kings need to emerge victorious in one of their remaining league matches.
