Lucknow Super Giants will square off against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the 59th match of the ongoing IPL 2025 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow on Friday.
RCB has suffered a huge blow as in-form Devdutt Padikkal has been ruled out with a hamstring injury, and Mayank Agarwal has been named as the replacement.
RCB have won their last four games, and they would look to continue the winning impetus. Rajat Patidar’s team also has an impressive record while playing away this season.
On the other hand, this match will be a must-win contest for LSG, who have managed a solitary win in their last five games.
