Lucknow Super Giants set a challenging target of 228 runs for Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their IPL 2025 match at Ekana Stadium, Lucknow, tonight. This crucial total puts pressure on RCB as they aim to secure a top-two finish in the league. After debutant Matthew Breetzke was dismissed early in the powerplay by fellow debutant Nuwan Thushara in the third over, it was captain Rishabh Pant and Mitchell Marsh who took charge.  The pair built a powerful partnership, dominating the bowlers with aggressive sixes all around the ground. The RCB bowlers struggled to contain them until Marsh was finally dismissed for 67 by Bhuvneshwar in the 16th over.
