LSG vs RCB, IPL 2026: Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s (RCB) bowling unit has been put on the sword by Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) all-rounder Mitchell Marsh as he slammed a majestic hundred on May 7, Thursday at the Ekana International Stadium. However, rain interrupted for the third time during the match, halting the charge from the Super Giants as they were placed comfortably at 145/1 in 14 overs, with the West Australian unbeaten at 107 and Nicholas Pooran giving him company on 14. The delay is likely to be longer than the previous two.

LSG vs RCB, IPL 2026: What happened the last time the Lucknow Super Giants and Royal Challengers Bengaluru met?
The two sides have met earlier, with the defending champions emerging victorious comfortably by five wickets to light up the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. In 20 overs, Rishabh Pant-led LSG managed only 146 as Virat Kohli top-scored with 49 to script a five-wicket win with 29 deliveries to spare. Nevertheless, both RCB and LSG are coming off a loss to the Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians, respectively.
However, Rajat Patidar and co. are placed comfortably in the points table, capturing third spot with six wins and three losses. By contrast, the Super Giants are languishing at the bottom of the table with seven losses in nine fixtures. Even a victory on Thursday against the reigning champions may not be enough for the Super Giants to stay in the reckoning for a playoffs spot.
It’s worth noting that Lucknow haven’t beaten Bengaluru since the 2023 edition when the fixture held at the Chinnaswamy Stadium and LSG successfully chased down 213 in a thrilling game.
