Fantasy tips for the IPL 2025 match 59 between LSG and RCB.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will host Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) in match no. 59 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The contest will be hosted at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
Rishabh Pant’s LSG find themselves in a precarious situation after losing four of their last five matches. They have 10 points from 11 games, and need to win all to remain in the playoffs race. They suffered a 37-run defeat in the previous game against Punjab Kings.
RCB, on the other hand, are in a great spot with 16 points from 11 matches. They have won eight and lost only three games in the season. One more victory will get them into the playoff. Most recently, they defeated Chennai Super Kings by 2 runs in a last-ball thriller.
