Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) IPL 2026 Live Cricket Score Updates: Rain played spoilsport once again after Mitchell Marsh slammed his second IPL half century after Royal Challengers Bengaluru won the toss and opted to bowl first against Lucknow Super Giants at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Thursday. Lucknow made 3 changes with Josh Inglis, Mohsin Khan and Avesh Khan all sitting out while Arshin Kulkarni and Shahbaz Ahmed come in. RCB are playing with the same team.
A win over LSG would vault the defending champions to the top of the points table, ahead of overnight leader SRH.
With their campaign already all but over, the bottom-placed LSG will play for self-respect as they eye only their third win of the season. Rishabh Pant’s side have been winless at home in their last nine games, with their last victory at Ekana coming against Gujarat Titans in April 2025.
Having lost seven of their nine games in IPL 2026 thus far, LSG sit at the bottom of the points table with just four points.
RCB lead the head-to-head record, having won five of the seven meetings against LSG. The defending champions beat Lucknow by five wickets at home earlier this season when the two sides last faced each other.
