Rcb vs lsg: Royal Challengers Bangalore will face Lucknow Super Giants in the 59th match of IPL 2025. While Bangalore would like to confirm her place in the playoffs, Lucknow Super Giants would like to keep their expectations alive. As the tournament is moving forward, the pressure on Lucknow captain Rishabh Pant is increasing. He has been struggling to score runs since the beginning of the tournament and its effect is clearly visible in the results. Lucknow has lost four of their last five matches and will get only 16 points for winning the remaining three matches.
The score of 18 points in the play-off race is considered safe. RCB left no stone unturned to win the match and reach there. RCB has won five of its last six matches, making him a strong contender to make a place in the playoffs. This season has been very bad for Pant, who was the most expensive player in the IPL auction. He tried to bat at various places in batting order, but he could not perform well. His strike rate is 99.92, which tells the story of his struggle this season.
KKR vs CSK: ‘Only when the time is right ..’, CSK captain MS Dhoni once again commented on retirement ..
Lucknow is largely dependent on its three batsmen – Mitchell Marsh, Eden Markram and Nicholas Puran – but if they want to move forward in the tournament, then their other players will also have to perform well. Pant said after the defeat of Punjab Kings in Dharamshala, “We have not left hope of reaching the playoffs yet. If we managed to win the next three matches then we can reach there. When your top order is really batting well, it makes sense. You can’t expect them to perform well in every match.”
