LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: In the final league match of IPL 2025, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) pulled off a stunning run chase, successfully hunting down a 228-run target set by Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. The emphatic 6-wicket victory sealed RCB’s place in the top two of the points table.

Earlier, Lucknow Super Giants have given a 228-run target to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in their IPL 2025 match at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow tonight as the visitors look to get the final top 2 spots in the league. A brilliant partnership between skipper Rishabh Pant and Mitchell Marsh saw the hosts post a challenging total in Lucknow for RCB.
While debutant Matthew Breetzke got himself out a little early in the powerply courtesy of another debutant in the form of Nuwan Thushara who cleaned him up in the 3rd over, it was Pant and Marsh who stiched up a brilliant stand for the 2nd wicket to take the onus upon themselves to guide their team to a good total in the final game of the season.
Each and every bowler saw themselves being sent out of the ground on the night as the duo kept hitting the sixes all across the ground. RCB players were looking demoralised by the power hitting at show as nothing was stopping the LSG batters until the 16th over where Marsh got dismissed at 67 with Bhuvneshwar taking his scalp.
