LSG and RCB have had some fierce battles over the years, with LSG historically holding the upper hand. With the match being played at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, LSG will have the home advantage, and their pace attack of Mayank Yadav and Awesh Khan could be a major threat on a supporting track. Their batting lineup, led by Rishabh Pant, Aiden Markram, Mitch Marsh, Nicolas Pooran, Ayush Badoni, and David Miller, looks solid. On the other hand, RCB boasts an explosive batting unit, featuring Virat Kohli, Jacob Bethell, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar, Romario Shepherd, Jitesh Sharma, and Tim David. However, their greatest form and some concern with bowling attack, which often struggles in high-scoring encounters. While Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Lungi Ngidi, and Yash Dayal add depth, they’ll need to handle LSG’s aggressive top order. Given LSG’s superior bowling attack and home conditions, they might start as slight favorites. But RCB’s firepower makes them dangerous, and if their bowling holds up, an upset could be on the cards. Let’s break down their head-to-head record to see who holds the edge ahead of the IPL 2025 match:
Total Matches Played: 5
LSG Wins: 2
RCB Wins: 3
No Result/Abandoned Matches: 0
Despite LSG having the firepower of Aiden Markram, Nicolas Pooran, Rishabh Pant, Ayush Badoni and David Miller, RCB’s all-around strength and explosive players Kurnal Pandya and Romario Shepherd give them the upper hand in this head-to-head contest. However, it’s always been a close battle, with both sides frequently trading blows in IPL clashes.

As far as fantasy cricket is concerned, LSG might have the edge with their explosive batting lineup led by Aiden Markram, Mitch Marsh, Nicolas Pooran, Rishabh Pant, Ayush Badoni, and David Miller, but RCB’s balanced squad and the presence of all-rounders like Kurnal Pandya and Romario Shepherd make them a formidable opponent. Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, with its high-scoring potential, might slightly favor the batting-heavy teams, so expect a run-fest.
No any Injury concerns.
Match: LSG vs RCB 59th Match of IPL 2025
Date & Time: Coming soon
Stadium: Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium
Location: Lucknow
The Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow offers a balanced pitch that challenges both batsmen and bowlers. Early in the match, the surface favors the batsmen, allowing them to play aggressive strokes with good bounce and a solid foundation. A first-innings score between 170-180 runs is generally considered competitive. However, as the game progresses, the pitch tends to slow down, providing assistance to spinners, which can make chasing more difficult. Teams chasing targets around 170-180 runs generally have a fighting chance, but anything above 190-200 can put them under pressure, especially with the slow nature of the pitch in the second innings. Overall, it’s a dynamic surface where both batting and bowling strategies need to adapt to the conditions, and a score around 200+ is often a strong target for the chasing side.
