Lucknow Super Giants will lock horns against Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the last league stage match of the season at Lucknow on Tuesday. The equation is simple for RCB – win this contest and seal their top-2 position in the points table.

If RCB loses, GT will qualify for the first qualifier and Rajat Patidar’s team will take on Mumbai Indians in the eliminator contest. On the other hand, LSG would want to end their campaign on a winning note after a disappointing season.
