In a high-stakes IPL 2025 encounter, Lucknow Super Giants will host Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Ekana Stadium on Friday, May 9. Get live streaming details here. (Preview)
The upcoming clash holds major playoff implications for both teams. A win for Royal Challengers Bengaluru would virtually seal their spot in the final four, providing a big boost heading into the business end of the season. While a loss wouldn't knock them out of contention, it could seriously dent their hopes of securing a top-two finish.
RCB head to Lucknow with two big targets in mind, bagging a record seventh away win this season and locking in a playoffs berth, with a shot at temporarily taking the top spot on the points table.
On the other hand, LSG are in a tougher spot. Placed seventh with five wins and six losses from 11 matches, they must win all of their remaining games to stay in the playoff race. Even then, their qualification will depend on how other results pan out, making their path to the knockouts both challenging and uncertain.
Uncertainties loom large after the Punjab Kings vs Delhi Capitals match was called off amid India-Pakistan tensions. While it's still unclear whether the situation will eventually lead to a cancellation of IPL 2025, as of now, the tournament continues, and the next game is set to go ahead as planned.
