However, the coach admitted the disappointment of not being able to play their home game in Bengaluru, but he isn’t too worried about the venue change. He pointed to RCB’s flawless away record this season, where they have won all six of their away games.
Flower signed off by saying, “We are obviously disappointed not to be playing tomorrow’s game in Bengaluru. As you know, we struggled in our home conditions initially, and it took us a little while to adjust our game plan according to the pitch. But we did adjust and won a couple of important games at home. We’ve got a good record away. We’ve been able to flex for the away conditions really well, so I am backing our players to do that again tomorrow. So, we’re okay playing here in Lucknow.”
