The 59th match of the ongoing IPL 2025 will be played between Lucknow SuperGiants and Royal Challengers Bangalore. Both teams will play each other for the first and only time this season unless both teams qualify for the playoffs. Notably, RCB has pretty much qualified for the playoffs after having won eight out of 11 games. LSG, on the other hand, needs to win their remaining three games.
This won’t be an easy task for the home side as Bangalore has done well away from home. RCB has played six games away from home and won all of them. They would like to sign off their travels with another win before they play two matches at home (against Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad). The Rajat Patidar-led side are looking to finish in the top two, and a win here would help them.
