Lucknow: The 50th match of Indian Premier League will see Lucknow Super Giants take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Ekana Cricket Stadium on Thursday evening. Although Ekana is the home ground of LSG, their record against RCB at this venue has been extremely disappointing.
So far, Lucknow Super Giants have failed to register a single victory against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the Ekana Stadium.
LSG Struggling in IPL 2026
LSG have endured a miserable campaign in the 2026 IPL season. The team has managed to win only 2 out of 9 matches and currently sits at the bottom of the points table in 10th place. Adding to their troubles, they are coming into this match on the back of six consecutive defeats.
Under the captaincy of Rishabh Pant, the team has struggled for consistency, making the challenge against a strong RCB side even tougher.
RCB Dominance at Ekana
Only two matches have been played between LSG and RCB at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, and both were won by Bengaluru.
- In 2023, RCB defeated LSG by 18 runs.
- In 2025, RCB secured a comfortable 6-wicket victory at the same venue.
This history puts additional pressure on the Lucknow franchise ahead of Thursday’s encounter.
Overall Head-to-Head Record
The overall record between the two sides also heavily favors Bengaluru.
- Total Matches Played: 7
- RCB Wins: 5
- LSG Wins: 2
Earlier in the current season, Royal Challengers Bengaluru defeated Lucknow Super Giants by 5 wickets.
RCB Eyeing Top Spot
RCB have enjoyed an impressive season so far, winning 6 of their 9 matches and occupying the third position on the points table with 12 points.
Although they suffered a 4-wicket defeat against Gujarat Titans in their previous match, the Bengaluru side will look to bounce back strongly against Lucknow. A victory could potentially take them to the top of the standings.
Conclusion
With current form, head-to-head statistics, and Ekana history all favoring Bengaluru, RCB enter the contest as clear favorites. However, LSG will hope home conditions and desperation for points inspire a turnaround performance in front of their fans.
