IPL Match 59 (LSG vs RCB): Toss Predictions
It is now time to look at the LSG vs RCB toss predictions. Astrologically, the toss for this match seems to be in favour of LSG. The captain of LSG, Pant, has a little support from the divine. His chart recently sees a shift of the Sun into his 7th house.
The transit of the Sun in Aries favours this placement, bringing him benefits in his profession. Additionally, this period will be dedicated to earning rewards for the previous hard work. Thus, winning the toss will be a reward from the universe to Pant for his previous efforts and hard work.
LSG vs RCB Win Prediction
Considering the current form of both teams, RCB have higher chances to win the contest, whether they will bowl first or bat. RCB’s batters have shown great intent this season while their bowlers have been performing consistently. On the other hand, LSG have failed in both departments. Also out of the five matches played in Lucknow this season, the home side has managed to win only two. On the flip side, Royal Challengers Bengaluru have been dominant away from home. That gives the visitors an edge in this contest.
