RCB Aim to Lock in Qualifier 1 Berth Against LSG

=====================================================

The equation is simple for Royal Challengers Bengaluru: beat Lucknow Super Giants and seal a top-two finish. RCB's away record this season, which has seen them win all six games, should give them confidence.

Josh Hazlewood's return from a shoulder niggle will also bolster RCB's chances. For LSG, the game offers a chance to finish the season on a high, especially at home, where they have had a mixed bag of results.
