LSG vs RCB: From match timings and pitch report to live streaming details, here’s everything you need to know about the Lucknow Super Giants vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru IPL 2025 league match.

In what will be the last league stage match of the IPL 2025, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) host Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, on Tuesday (May 27). While LSG are out of the playoff race, RCB will be playing for a place in Qualifier 1 — a win here will ensure they finish in the top two.

The equation is clear for RCB, but it won’t be easy. LSG snapped a four-match losing streak with a clinical win against Gujarat Titans and will look to end their campaign on a high in front of their home fans. Conditions in Lucknow have been varied this season, and the match could come down to how well RCB adapt, who have already played a game here.

Lucknow Pitch Report: Batters to dominate again?

The pitches in Lucknow have historically assisted slower bowlers, but IPL 2025 has seen a shift. Black soil pitches have offered true bounce, leading to high-scoring games — including the recent RCB vs SRH clash. The long square boundaries (70m and 66m) and a 78m straight boundary will test the power-hitters, especially under the sweltering evening heat.

While the pitch nature varies based on soil type (black or red), the black-soil wicket used recently provided pace and bounce. Another batting-friendly contest could be on the cards if the same surface is used.

Pace vs Spin at Lucknow (IPL 2025):

Type	Balls	Runs	Wickets	Economy	SR
Pace	784	1267	37	9.69	21.1
Spin	605	894	22	8.86	27.5
