There’s not much riding on it for Lucknow Super Giants — except pride. Already out of the playoff race, the Rishabh Pant-led side will look to wrap up their IPL 2025 campaign on a high when they host Royal Challengers Bengaluru in match No. 70 on Tuesday at the Ekana Cricket Stadium.
LSG, who have won six and lost seven this season, are coming off a 33-run victory over Gujarat Titans in Ahmedabad. A win here won’t change their fate, but it could cement a No. 6 finish in the 10-team table.
For RCB, though, it’s a whole different story. Sitting third with eight wins and four losses in 13 games — plus one no result — a win would lock them into a top-two spot. They’ll be eager to bounce back after a 42-run defeat to Sunrisers Hyderabad in their last outing.

Who will win LSG vs RCB IPL 2025 match? Prediction
RCB have found their rhythm at just the right time, winning four of their last five and showing serious firepower with the bat. They’ve got momentum, they’ve got motivation — and they’ll want to bounce back fast after the 42-run loss to SRH.
Lucknow, meanwhile, are playing for pride. Sure, they beat Gujarat last week, but that’s been a rare bright spot in an otherwise shaky season. Consistency has been missing, and RCB will know that.
