IPL Today Match, Points Table 2025, Orange Cap, Purple Cap, LSG vs RCB Team Predicted Playing 11 Live Updates: Royal Challengers Bengaluru will look to seal a place in the top 2 alongside Punjab Kings as the Rajat Patidar-led take on the Lucknow Super Giants in the last match of the league stages. If RCB win, they join PBKS in Qualifier 1 but if LSG pull off an upset, GT will go to Qualifier 1 while RCB have to play the Eliminator against Mumbai Indians.

The last time RCB played at the Ekana, they were defeated by the Sunrisers Hyderabad which had dealt a blow to their top 2 hopes but with Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings both dropping points, they now have a clear path to finish top 2. They will be sweating over the fitness of captain Patidar who played as an Impact player in their previous match but they’ll be bolstered by the return of Josh Hazlewood.

Lucknow, meanwhile, have nothing to play for except pride after they were eliminated from the playoffs last week. But that makes them more dangerous with the outfit having nothing to lose, something that GT found out the hard way in Ahmedabad when they lost to LSG. Lucknow will also be boosted by the return of spinner Digvesh Rathi who sat out the last match due to suspension

Hazlewood hadn’t played RCB’s last match before the league’s suspension, as he was nursing a shoulder niggle, then returned home when the league was paused.
