The mistake forced Royal Challengers Bengaluru to request a last-minute change. The move needed LSG's consent, and the hosts obliged. As a result, Suyash Sharma was included in Rajat Patidar's place in the RCB playing eleven.

RCB bowling first in must-win clash:
They are currently in the third spot in the points table and can move up with a win over LSG. Their fate is in their own hands, and they will be desperate to win the ongoing game. If Royal Challengers Bengaluru win against LSG, they will be facing Punjab Kings in the first qualifier. On the other hand, a loss will see them locking horns against the Mumbai Indians in the Eliminator.
Unlike Royal Challengers Bengaluru, LSG are out of the tournament and will be looking to end their campaign on a winning note. They registered an impressive win over the Gujarat Titans in their last game and will be confident of beating RCB too.
