Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in an important clash of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 on Friday, May 9, at the BRSABV Ekana Stadium, Lucknow. It will be a crucial game for both sides in terms of playoff qualification scenarios, as if RCB win the match, they will all but confirm their place in the final four then and there. While a loss will not put them in danger of elimination, it will hurt their chances of finishing in the top two spots.
On the other hand, in the reverse scenario, where LSG beat RCB, it will bring a whole new dynamic to the playoff race as they will still have the chance to reach the 16-point mark required for qualification.
