IPL 2025: 5 milestones that can be achieved in today's LSG vs RCB match

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in match number 70 of IPL 2025 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Tuesday, May 27. This will be the last match of the league stage of the tournament. The game will also decide who joins Punjab Kings (PBKS) in Qualifier 1 and who will face Mumbai Indians (MI) in the Eliminator.

RCB went down to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 42 runs in their previous match, which was also played in Lucknow. Batting first, SRH posted 231-6 and then held RCB to 189. Bengaluru can, however, still confirm a top two berth with a win over LSG. A victory on Tuesday will take them to 19 points. However, if they go down to Lucknow, Gujarat Titans (GT) will finish in the top two, with 18 points.

LSG have been eliminated from the playoffs, but they would be keen to end IPL 2025 on a high. In their previous match, they stunned GT by 33 runs. Batting first, Lucknow posted 235-2 as Mitchell Marsh slammed 117 off 64. In the chase, Gujarat were held to 202-9.
