On Friday, we head to the Ekana Cricket Stadium for match 59 of the 2025 Indian Premier League between the Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bangalore. LSG are seventh in the league standings, while RCB are second. Let’s get into the match prediction.
With just 10 points from their 11 games, the Lucknow Super Giants are on the verge of being eliminated from Playoff contention, now needing to win all three of their remaining games.
However, LSG have not been in good form recently, having lost their last match by 37 runs to the Punjab Kings, which marked the fourth defeat in their last five matches.
Notably, after holding the Orange Cap for almost the entire first month of the competition, Nicholas Pooran is now in seventh place and has failed to score 30+ runs in any of his last five innings.
Meanwhile, the Royal Challengers Bangalore are all but guaranteed a spot in the Playoffs, but they will want to ensure they can secure home advantage by finishing in the top two.
RCB enter this match with momentum, following a thrilling two-run victory over the Chennai Super Kings, which was their fourth win on the bounce, dating back to April 18.
In the five previous matches between these sides, RCB won the first three but LSG won the last two.
