Welcome to Sportstar’s live coverage of the IPL 2026 encounter between the Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Lucknow Super Giants at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Wednesday, April 15!
An in-form Royal Challengers Bengaluru will be looking to continue its run of strong performances when it returns home to face a Lucknow Super Giants side chastened by defeat to Gujarat Titans last time out.
Match details:
Date & Time: April 15, 2026; 7:30 PM IST
Venue: M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru
Injury news: Virat Kohli and Rasikh Dar were both forced off the field for RCB against Mumbai Indians, but both are expected to be fit for this match. LSG, meanwhile, will be buoyed by the return of Mayank Yadav, who has been declared fit to play.
Pitch/weather report: The pitch is expected to once again favour the batters, though the Chinnaswamy is known to have some early movement in the first innings. Dew is expected to set in later in the day, meaning that chasing will likely become easier.
Good evening!

Sal Stewart slugged a pair of three-run homers, Eugenio Suarez and Elly De La Cruz each hit solo shots, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the visiting San Francisco Giants 8-3 on Wednesday.
Stewart went deep for the second straight night and has seven homers to lead all rookies. Suarez went 3-for-4 and Spencer Steer had a pair of singles for Cincinnati, which has won three of its last four games.
Reds starter Rhett Lowder (2-1) allowed three runs on five hits with one walk and four strikeouts over a career-high 6 2/3 innings.
Daniel Susac doubled in two runs and had two hits for San Francisco, which lost its fourth straight.
Cincinnati claimed a 4-0 lead in the first inning against Tyler Mahle (0-3). With two on and one out, Stewart hit a three-run blast on a liner to right-center field. Suarez followed with his third homer, a 349-foot shot to right field.
The Giants responded with two runs in the second inning. Matt Chapman singled with one out, Jung Hoo Lee walked, and both scored on Susac’s double to left field.
Stewart struck again with a three-run homer in the bottom of the second following back-to-back walks to Matt McLain and De La Cruz.
Cincinnati moved ahead 8-2 on De La Cruz’s one-out homer to center in the fourth. The 442-foot blast was his sixth homer of the season.
Mahle gave up eight runs and eight hits with five walks over four innings against his former team.
Left-hander Brock Burke replaced righty Lowder with two on and two outs in the seventh. Heliot Ramos greeted Burke with a pinch-hit single to score Rafael Devers from third.
Jerar Encarnacion followed with a pinch-hit single to load the bases before Burke struck out Willy Adames on three pitches.
Adames went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts for San Francisco, which entered the game ranked last in the majors in runs (52), home runs (nine) and walks (34).
The Giants were out-hit 10-9 and fell to 1-11 this season when scoring three or fewer runs.

Max Homa has found quite a bit of success the last three years at the Masters.
Carrying that over to the RBC Heritage the following week has surprisingly proven a tough challenge.
Homa, coming off his third straight result among the top 12 at Augusta National, will look to follow that up with his first top-50 finish since 2020 at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head Island, S.C.
“(Harbour Town) should fit my game really well,” Homa said. “Unfortunately I haven’t played too well here, so hopefully this is the year.”
After tying for third at the 2024 Masters, Homa followed with a tie for 55th in the RBC Heritage, a signature event. He followed a tie for 12th last year in Augusta by finishing in 70th out of 72 competitors at the RBC.
Homa tied for ninth in this season’s first major, and he seems aware of why his success at Augusta National hasn’t carried over to Hilton Head.
It’s a common refrain heard about the tournament immediately after the Masters, and why a number of competitors often skip the event.
“That mental toll (the Masters) takes on you is pretty draining,” Homa said. “It is crazy how majors just feel like two weeks on you. Augusta is one of the few physical tests we have in golf. It’s quite a bear to walk and prep for.”
Complicating matters for Homa is the fact that his wife and two children under 4 — including one born last August — are with him for the road trip.
“It’s definitely interesting how tired I am. Now, granted, I do have two children, and one of them chose not to sleep last night, so it’s taking me longer to get back into, I guess, a fiery mode,” Homa quipped. ” … I would say by (Thursday) I’m sure my energy will be back and I’ll be ready to compete.”
Sleep deprived or not, Homa seems to have found something of late after a rocky 2025 season. He wound up last year 111th in the FedEx Cup standings, a far cry from the consecutive top-10 finishes he had in 2022 and 2023.
With a top-15 finish at the Cognizant Classic and three other top-40 finishes in addition to another strong Masters showing, Homa has rebounded early this season, sitting in 50th in the FedEx Cup rankings entering this week’s event.
He credits a return to working with coach Mark Blackburn as what has helped him trend once more in a positive direction.
“I went back to him in, I think, October, and we obviously put a lot of work in in the offseason, and he’s just been amazing,” Homa said of Blackburn. “We communicate so well. He seems very in tune with what makes me tick.”

Nico Hoerner had a career-high five RBIs and Shota Imanaga matched a personal best with 11 strikeouts, lifting the visiting Chicago Cubs to an 11-2 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Wednesday.
Hoerner hit an RBI single in the third inning and later scored on a throwing error. He belted a two-run homer in the fifth and ripped a two-run single in the sixth, giving him 19 hits and 16 RBIs in 13 games this month.
Matt Shaw ripped a two-run double and Dansby Swanson launched a solo homer to highlight their respective three-hit performances.
The Cubs finished with 15 hits to win the decisive contest of the three-game series and record a second straight victory for just the second time this season. Chicago has totaled 35 runs on 51 hits over the past four games.
The power surge was more than enough for Imanaga (1-1), who overcame a leadoff homer by Trea Turner to shut down the Phillies. The left-hander allowed one run on three hits and one walk before exiting after six innings. He threw 97 pitches, 67 of them strikes.
Bryce Harper belted a solo homer in the ninth inning for Philadelphia, which mustered just five hits en route to losing for the sixth time in the past eight games.
Turner deposited a 0-1 fastball from Imanaga over the wall in center field to open the scoring.
Hoerner leveled the contest in the third with an RBI single to center field, driving in Shaw, who had doubled. Hoerner advanced to second base on a walk and came around to score after Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto’s attempted throw to third base sailed into left field.
Alex Bregman moved to third on the miscue and scored after Jesus Luzardo (1-3) uncorked a wild pitch, staking Chicago to a 3-1 lead.
In the fifth, Hoerner doubled the advantage by sending a first-pitch fastball over the wall in center field for a two-run homer.
Shaw’s two-run double in the sixth inning drove Luzardo from the game, and Hoerner’s two-run single closed the book on the pitcher. Luzardo permitted nine runs (eight earned) on in 5 1/3 innings. He yielded a career-high-tying 12 hits while fanning four and walking one.
