To forecast the outcome, we implemented a Monte Carlo simulation that factors in:
We ran 10,000 simulated match scenarios, randomly sampling from each distribution to model realistic outcomes.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru are the likely winners, driven by their current momentum, superior head-to-head record, and the form of their top-order. Expect Virat Kohli and Co. to post or chase a challenging total, with RCB edging this contest under lights in Lucknow.
While LSG possess talented match-winners, their inconsistent form and negative net run rate make an uphill task against an in-form RCB side. Fans should brace for a high-scoring thriller, but backing Bengaluru looks the shrewdest play.
