RCB have played five games against LSG, winning three and losing two. Click here to get all the head-to-head records.

RCB have played phenomenal cricket in the IPL 2025 and have more in-form players. Expect them to get the better of LSG and resgister their ninth win of the season.

We are going to play it safe and stick to Mr. Consistent, Virat Kohli. The RCB star has scored 505 runs in 11 innings at an average of 63.13 and a strike rate of 143.47. He needs just six runs to get the Orange Cap.

Josh Hazlewood missed the last game for RCB because of a slight niggle but is expected to be available for the LSG match. The Australian seamer has claimed 18 wickets in 10 games at an average of 17.28.

The Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow has hosted five games so far in the IPL 2025 and the batters here have scored runs at an average of 33.9 and a scoring rate of 9.1. The seamers have taken more wickets but the spinners have been more economical.

There's no chance of rain, but it's going to be extremely hot in Lucknow. The temperature is likely to be around 35 degrees Celsius.
