Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) claimed a dramatic victory over Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by six runs in a rain-affected match at Ekana Cricket Stadium during IPL 2026. LSG posted a formidable total, powered by Mitchell Marsh, who scored 111 runs off 56 balls, including nine fours and nine sixes. The match was reduced to 19 overs per side due to rain, but LSG managed to score over 200 runs, with contributions from Nicholas Pooran and captain Rishabh Pant. RCB's chase began poorly as Virat Kohli was dismissed for a duck. Although Rajat Patidar scored 61 runs off 31 balls, LSG's Prince Yadav took three crucial wickets, shifting the momentum back to LSG. Despite a late surge from Tim David, who fought valiantly in the final overs, RCB fell short, marking their first failed run chase in five attempts this season. This victory gives LSG a glimmer of hope in their playoff aspirations, while RCB remains in the top four of the standings.
