Background

LSG Vs RCB: Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the IPL 2025 Match 70 between Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, as the Qualifier 1 spot is on the line for Rajat Patidar's men.The home side are already out of the playoffs, and will be looking to sign off on a high, as tonight is the last group stage game of IPL 2025.RCB have a chance of finishing on top of the table, if they attain a massive victory over Rishabh Pant's side. Punjab Kings currently occupy the top spot with 19 points, but RCB can replace them, as a win tonight will take them to 19 points as well, and this will lead the race for top spot down to Net Run Rate.LSG have been inconsistent this season, but have discovered form lately, and are now looking pretty balanced enough to upset RCB tonight.Gujarat Titans, who lost their last group stage game to LSG, will be looking for a favour from them, as they currently hang between Qualifier 1 spot and Eliminator spot.Virat Kohli needs 24 more runs to become the first-ever RCB batter to touch 9000 runs-mark.LSG, RCB Squads For IPL 2025Lucknow Super GiantsRishabh Pant (C & WK), David Miller, Aiden Markram, Aryan Juyal, Himmat Singh, Matthew Breetzke, Nicholas Pooran, Mitchell Marsh, Abdul Samad, Shahbaz Ahamad, Yuvraj Chaudhary, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Arshin Kulkarni, Ayush Badoni, Avesh Khan, Akash Deep, M.
