Match Results
The eight meetings have produced a relatively balanced sequence despite RCB’s overall advantage.
| Season | Venue | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | DY Patil Stadium | RCB won by 18 runs |
| 2022 | Eden Gardens | RCB won by 14 runs |

| 2026 | M. Chinnaswamy Stadium | RCB won by 5 wickets |
| 2026 | Ekana Cricket Stadium | LSG won by 9 runs, DLS |
The first two meetings went RCB’s way. LSG then won their first match in 2023 before RCB responded with another victory later that season.
The 2024, 2025 and 2026 results continued the back-and-forth nature of the contest, although RCB remain ahead on the overall count.
Highest Scores
RCB’s highest score against LSG is 230/4, recorded during the 2025 meeting at Lucknow.
LSG had posted 227/3, but RCB successfully chased the target, reaching 230/4 in just 18.4 overs. The six-wicket victory remains the highest successful chase in this fixture.
LSG’s highest score against RCB is therefore 227/3, also from that 2025 match.
That game remains one of the most significant batting performances in the short history of the rivalry because both teams crossed 225.
The 2026 meeting at Lucknow also produced a huge total. LSG made 209/3 in 19 overs, while RCB finished on 203/6, giving LSG a nine-run DLS victory.
Lowest Scores
LSG’s lowest total against RCB is 108 all out, recorded at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in May 2023.
RCB’s lowest total in the fixture is 126/9, which came in the same match. Despite scoring only 126, RCB bowled LSG out for 108 and won by 18 runs.
The match is an excellent example of the variation in this rivalry. Only a few weeks earlier, LSG had completed a 213-run chase against RCB. The next meeting became a low-scoring contest dominated by the bowlers.
Batting Records
The batting records have been shaped by several of RCB’s established players and LSG’s aggressive middle order.
Virat Kohli has been one of the most productive RCB batters in this matchup. His experience against LSG’s bowling attack has made him a consistent presence in the fixture.
The 2025 meeting also highlighted the explosive scoring potential of both sides. LSG reached 227/3, but RCB’s chase went even further, finishing at 230/4.
The latest 2026 meeting produced another outstanding individual performance. Mitchell Marsh scored 111 from 56 balls, including nine fours and eight sixes, to power LSG to 209/3 from 19 overs. He was named Player of the Match.
Rajat Patidar was also important for RCB in that match, scoring 61 from 31 balls as the visitors attempted to chase the revised target.
Bowling Records
Bowling performances have played an important role in determining several LSG-RCB matches.
Josh Hazlewood was the Player of the Match when RCB defeated LSG in the April 2026 meeting at Bengaluru. RCB bowled LSG out for 146, then chased the target in 15.1 overs. Hazlewood finished with 1/20 and helped RCB maintain control during the match.
The same match also featured a four-wicket spell from Rasikh Salam, who took 4/24 for LSG. His performance restricted RCB during the middle stages, although RCB’s chase ultimately proved successful.
The bowling records show that the rivalry has not been exclusively dominated by batting. Several matches have been decided by spells that changed the scoring rate or created clusters of wickets.
Recent Meetings
The two teams met twice during the 2026 IPL season, with each side winning once.
On April 15, 2026, RCB hosted LSG at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. LSG were bowled out for 146, and RCB reached 149/5 in 15.1 overs, winning by five wickets.
The second meeting was played on May 7, 2026, at the Ekana Cricket Stadium.
LSG scored 209/3 in 19 overs after the match was reduced because of weather. RCB replied with 203/6 from their 19 overs, but LSG won by nine runs under the DLS method.
The split result in 2026 left the overall head-to-head record at RCB 5-3 LSG.
Latest Match
The latest completed meeting took place on May 7, 2026, at Lucknow.
LSG won the toss and RCB chose to bowl. The home side scored 209/3 from 19 overs, with Mitchell Marsh producing the defining innings of the contest. His 111 from 56 balls provided LSG with the platform for a large total.
RCB’s response reached 203/6 from 19 overs. Rajat Patidar’s 61 and Tim David’s late contribution kept the chase alive, but RCB fell nine runs short on the DLS calculation.
The result gave LSG their third victory over RCB and prevented RCB from extending their advantage in the head-to-head record.
Memorable Matches
The 2023 Bengaluru match remains one of the most dramatic games in the rivalry.
RCB scored 212/2, a formidable total in a T20 match. LSG nevertheless reached 213/9 on the final ball and won by one wicket. The chase remains LSG’s highest successful pursuit against RCB.
The 2022 Eliminator was the first knockout meeting between the teams. RCB scored 207/4 and defeated LSG by 14 runs, ending Lucknow’s campaign.
The 2025 match at Lucknow was another high-scoring classic. LSG’s 227/3 was not enough because RCB chased the target with eight balls remaining, finishing on 230/4.
The 2026 DLS contest added another unusual result to the rivalry, with both teams crossing 200 in a shortened match.
Venue Record
The rivalry has been played at several venues because LSG entered the IPL only in 2022.
The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium has hosted three meetings through 2026. LSG won there in 2023 and 2024, while RCB won the 2026 contest.
The Ekana Cricket Stadium has also hosted three meetings. RCB won there in 2023 and 2025, while LSG won the 2026 rain-affected match.
The other two meetings took place at the DY Patil Stadium and Eden Gardens in 2022, with RCB winning both.
This gives the rivalry an interesting venue pattern: both teams have enjoyed victories at the other’s home ground.
Season Record
The season-by-season record gives a simple picture of how the rivalry has developed.
2022: RCB won both matches, including the Eliminator.
2023: LSG and RCB split their two league meetings. LSG won the famous one-wicket chase in Bengaluru, while RCB won by 18 runs in Lucknow.
2024: LSG won by 28 runs in Bengaluru after scoring 181/5.
2025: RCB won by six wickets after chasing LSG’s 227/3.
2026: RCB won the first meeting by five wickets, while LSG won the second by nine runs via DLS.
The overall record after the 2026 season therefore stands at five wins for RCB and three for LSG.
Major Records
The main statistical records from the fixture include:
| Record | Figure |
|---|---|
| Most wins | RCB – 5 |
| LSG wins | 3 |
| Highest team score | RCB – 230/4 |
| Highest LSG score | 227/3 |
| Lowest LSG score | 108 all out |
| Lowest RCB score | 126/9 |
| Highest successful chase | RCB – 230 |
| LSG’s highest successful chase | 213/9 |
| Narrowest winning margin | LSG by 1 wicket |
| Latest result | LSG won by 9 runs, DLS |
One reason these records are interesting is the small sample size. LSG and RCB have played only eight matches, so individual performances can quickly alter the statistical rankings.
Key Players
Several players have already become closely associated with this matchup.
Virat Kohli has been an important RCB batter in the rivalry, while Rajat Patidar has also produced significant contributions in recent meetings.
For LSG, Mitchell Marsh provided the latest major batting performance with his 111 in the 2026 match. His innings came at a strike rate above 190 and included 17 boundaries in total.
On the bowling side, Josh Hazlewood has been an important RCB option against LSG. His control and ability to bowl effectively in the powerplay and middle overs have made him a key part of RCB’s attack. He was Player of the Match in the April 2026 meeting.
The rivalry is still young enough that new players can quickly establish themselves in the record books.
Recent Statistical Trends
The recent numbers show that high-scoring matches have become increasingly common.
The 2025 game featured 457 combined runs, with LSG making 227/3 and RCB chasing successfully with 230/4.
The May 2026 match produced 412 runs across 38 overs, with LSG making 209/3 and RCB responding with 203/6.
At the same time, the April 2026 fixture showed the opposite pattern. LSG were dismissed for 146, while RCB reached the target comfortably.
That contrast is an important feature of the rivalry. The result cannot be predicted simply from previous scores because conditions, venue, bowling combinations and batting form can dramatically change the nature of a match.
Why the Numbers Matter
The LSG-RCB rivalry does not have the long history of some other IPL contests, but its statistics already contain several memorable records.
RCB’s 5-3 head-to-head advantage reflects their stronger overall record, while LSG’s victories include some of the most dramatic matches in the fixture.
The 213-run chase in 2023, the 230-run chase in 2025, and the 209-run total in the 2026 DLS match demonstrate the batting potential of both teams. Meanwhile, totals of 108 and 126 show that the same matchup can also become a low-scoring contest when the bowling side gains early control.
For statistical analysis, the most useful figures are therefore not limited to the win-loss record. Team totals, successful chases, venue results and individual performances all help explain how this young rivalry has developed.
