LSG vs RCB, IPL 2025: Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) would be looking to return to top-two standings when they take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the last league match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Tuesday.
Third-place RCB will be looking to win the match in order to guarantee a top-two finish. If they defeat LSG, their spot in the top two will be assured.
LSG will try to finish their season on a high note as they are already out of the playoffs race. With six victories from 13 games, they are now ranked seventh in the standings.
In their last match, LSG defeated the table-toppers Gujarat Titans by 33 runs. However, RCB lost their last match to Sunrisers Hyderabad by 42 runs.
Due to their elimination from the tournament, LSG will not be under any pressure. In their last game, LSG disrupted the Gujarat Titans' party by defeating the 2022 champions twice in the same season's league stage. It's possible that the Lucknow-based team will ruin RCB's ambitions as well and end the 2025 IPL on a positive note.
With Josh Hazlewood back, RCB will be more formidable. Their aim would be a place among the top two and earn a spot in Qualifier 1.
