RCB Vs LSG LIVE Score, IPL 2026: Josh Hazlewood Shatters Nicholas Pooran's Stumps | 55/2 (8)

RCB bowlers have been on point with their change in pace and have hit the right lengths to keep the power-packed top-order of LSG quiet. It's a slow track but going less that six an over against this batting line-up says something about the pedigree of RCB bowling.

As we were writing, Hazlewood does what he do best, bowls an immaculate and forces Nicholas Pooran to play a cut to a bowl closer to the body and it takes a inside edge into the wickets and LSG lose their third wicket.

LSG 35/2 (6.1)

Ohh what an unfortunate way to get out. It was a hit me slower delivery onto the pads with a boundary written all over it but Aiden Markram finishes the short early and the ball flies off from the outside edge of the bat straight into the hands of the fielder. Markram departs for 12 off 8 balls.

LSG 32/1 (4)

RCB bowlers had the LSG openers in control till the last ball of the third over as Mitchell broke the shackled with an out of the ground six of a slower ball from Bhuveshwar Kumar. This could provide the much needed impetus to LSG's innings on a slow track.

LSG 22/0 (3)

LSG openers - Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram shows intent in the first over with a streaky boundary. The visitors gets 9 runs from the first over.
