The final league stage clash of IPL 2025 promises high drama as Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) face Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Ekana Stadium. With 17 points from 13 matches, RCB have already sealed a playoff berth but are eyeing a top-two finish that would place them in Qualifier 1 alongside Punjab Kings.
To do that, RCB not only need to win but do so convincingly—by 34 runs (if scoring 200) or with 21 balls to spare (if chasing 200). LSG, meanwhile, have been eliminated but will be playing for pride and to spoil Bengaluru’s momentum.
