LSG vs RCB Highlights, IPL 2026: There are no easy games in the IPL – every team has the ability to hurt you with some sort of skill. RCB, third in the table and one of the most comfortable teams in the playoff race, but they know they can't rest easy, even against an underconfident and bruised Lucknow team on their home turf....Read More
LSG finally had something click for Nicholas Pooran against MI, as he exploded with some terrific hitting – but it proved not to matter as the team slipped to a sixth consecutive loss, their season almost entirely derailed. The team continues to chop and change with the batting order as something needs to work, but even now they won't be confident – where can they turn to try and find some sort of dominance?
It was a day on which the bowling didn't click, torn apart by Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton. Against a team with the batting ability of RCB, LSG know their Mohammed Shami-led bowling attack will need to be efficient and threatening – RCB bat deep, but showed against GT that there are weaknesses to be exposed if wickets can be sparked early.
Batting first and seeing the batting fold will be the concern for an RCB team which still looks very strong and are odds-on favourites to defend their title. GT recently and Delhi earlier in the table exposed how the team can be forced to slow down and be choked, especially when batting first on bowler-friendly surfaces. That allows early wickets to be snapped up, and the usually fluent middle order to struggle for the rate they enjoy batting at.
LSG realistically don't have much more to fight for – a playoff spot will require a minor miracle from this point, and a loss could essentially mean elimination by the next time they play. But there is pride to play for, and things to be figured out for next year. Don't write them off just yet.
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: LSG have done it – win by 9 runs!
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: Digvesh Rathi holds firm! Celebrates when it's mathematically impossible and then LSG breathe a big sigh of relief – they finally end their long losing streak.
RCB meanwhile stay in third, losing a chance to go top – but not many miles away tonight! Plenty of player of the match candidates tonight.
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: Good from Digvesh – 13 needed off 2!
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: Dugvesh with a clutch dot ball, a wide, and then a four under edged for four – Shepherd isn't reading Digvesh well!
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: 1 and 1 – 18 needed off 4 now!
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: Good from Digvesh! Avoids Romario's bat then keeps it wide of Krunal.
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: Digvesh to bowl the last over, defend 20…
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: Between the two spinners, it's the right-armer that LSG back. If he can sneak through two dot balls or singles, that might be enough…
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: Shepherd sends a full-toss into orbit! 20 needed off 6
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: Don't miss your yorkers to this man! He doesn't need to use much of his power to send it towering into the stands!
That's a crucial six once again – even if they get one off the last ball, Shepherd has strike, against LSG's fifth bowler, with 20 needed. This game is on!
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: 6, 6 – Krunal keeps RCB alive! 33 needed off 12
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: Mohammed Shami with a phenomenal over until a full-toss and a half-tracker to Krunal! If Romario doesn't get you Krunal will!
RCB still in touching distance – grandstand finish set up now!
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: 47 needed off 3 overs
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: Shepherd goes 4, 4 to keep RCB within touching distance of the run-rate. LSG will turn to their experienced seamers to get through the next two overs here. Shepherd looking for a 20-run over somewhere.
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: SIX AND GONE! Shahbaz removes David
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: He was threatening to take the match away but that man Shahbaz Ahmed has struck again! Wide of off stump, David doesn't get the elevation to clear the ring field on the off-side – cuts hard at it, but straight to the point fielder inside the ring!
What a big moment – 55 needed off 21, but so tricky with David gone!
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: 17-run over, David keeps RCB in the hunt!
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: 4, 6, 6 – all a little too telegraphed from Mayank Yadav! Quick and on a length, David can sit on his back foot and rocks it for a pair of massive sixes!
63 needed off 24, don't write them off…
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: RCB not finding the boundaries they need
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: Kind of strange decision to send Krunal Pandya in to bat ahead of Romario Shepherd with the required rate being where it is.
80 needed in 5 overs – still not impossible.
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: HUGE MOMENT! Shahbaz strikes on introduction, removes Rajat Patidar
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: HUGE WICKET! The bowling change works – Shahbaz finally introduced, gives Patidar width but tells him to flex his muscles. Unluckily for the RCB captain, not powerful enough – doesn't get the elevation, and a good catch from a flat, hard-hit ball at long-off by Aiden Markram!
112/5 and now you have to say LSG are favourites.
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: Prince Yadav at the double! Removes Jitesh
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: He has swung this game! He keeps taking wickets, what a find this man from Delhi has been – dug in short, no control from Jitesh, sliced straight up, and easily taken by Pant!
107/4 with 8 overs to play – just what the doctor ordered for LSG!
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: Prince Yadav with some more magic! Padikkal out caught and bowled
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: Brought back into the attack and takes a massive wicket to break the stand! It's not Patidar but it's an opening – into the surface, Padikkal too early through it, chips it back to Prince for a simple return catch!
Can LSG make this wicket count? Dangerous batting to come.
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: 6, 6 – Patidar exploding, gets to 50!
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: 4 sixes in his last 5 balls, that's how you accelerate! This is the kind of hitting that keeps you alive in a steep chase and suddenly the pressure is back on Rishabh Pant! Who can he turn to just to create some pressure again?
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: 17 off the over – RCB go big, just what they needed!
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: That's more like it! The problem with bowling spin to Patidar. He absolutely feasts on it. Hammers Digvesh for a couple of sixes with disdain!
Keeps RCB alive – with 10 overs left, 127 to get with batting to come.
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: 144 needed off 66
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: Patidar finding the boundaries and striking well but this is some great bowling by LSG – only one bad ball offered per over thus far in this innings, which is just about the best they can expect.
Mayank looking in better rhythm.
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: 45/2 after 6 overs
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: Still not the most fluent going from RCB – a couple of boundary shots but not much more. LSG will turn to spin to try and put the strangle on, but these are two incredible hitters of spin.
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: 26/2 after 4 overs
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: Good first over from Mayank Yadav – the only boundary is a rather defensive pull from Patidar which makes its way to the boundary.
RCB behind the game right now.
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: WHAT A BEAUTY! Prince Yadav sends Kohli's off-stump dancing
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: What a delivery! What a moment! Prince Yadav has been one of the finds of this IPL, and this is his big capital-M Moment! An inswinger with just a touch of movement, enough to beat Kohli on the inside edge, and knock over his off-stump!
What a delivery – late movement, pace, everything. That's going to make highlight reels everywhere!
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: Big leading edge… AND TAKEN! Bethell is gone
LSG vs RCB LIVEE MOMENT! LSG know chipping away at wickets is their only hope. Prince Yadav on the third man boundary misfields and lets four through, but immediately makes up for it. It has been a beautiful over from Shami, beating the bat and getting shape, and this one does just enough to get a big leading edge from Bethell. Miles up, Prince does so well to get under it and take a really good catch!
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: Here we go for the chase – RCB need 213 in 19 overs
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: Chase begins with Mohammed Shami gunning for early success against Jacob Bethell and Virat Kohli. Not the easiest surface, with some big boundaries. Should be a great one.
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: 4, 4, 6 – there's Rishabh Pant! LSG finish on 209/3
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: Sensational! Where has this Rishabh Pant been? The IPL has been crying out for him. Pulls for four, cover drive for four, then a crazy reverse-scoop all the way for six – he races away to 32*(10), excellent knock.
DLS target next up.
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: Pooran can't clear square leg!
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: Good hit from Pooran but towards a long part of the boundary square of the wicket – looks like it will fly but dies at the last moment, and Krunal gets under it! Had dropped him the previous over but not much damage.
1 off the first 2 and new man Markram on strike with 4 balls to play.
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: Sensational penultimate from Bhuvi – 193/2 with one to play
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: Bhuvneshwar continues to be dead-on in all phases.
Last over of the innings coming up – can Pant and Pooran get 15+ off this?
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: Pant takes Hazlewood for 18-run over!
LSG vs RCB LIVE Score: Much needed for LSG – they couldn't afford a slowdown! The captain comes in and starts swinging and being effective – just what the doctor ordered!
