Who won yesterday IPL match? Here are all LSG vs RCB match result highlights

Lucknow Super Giants finally ended their miserable run with a dramatic win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in a rain-hit IPL 2026 clash at Ekana Cricket Stadium. LSG defeated RCB by six runs in a high-scoring thriller after posting a massive total powered by Mitchell Marsh’s explosive century. The victory helped Lucknow snap a long losing streak and keep their fading playoff hopes alive.

Mitchell Marsh turns Lucknow into his personal hitting zone

Rain reduced the contest to 19 overs per side, but Marsh treated it like a batting exhibition. After RCB chose to bowl first, the Australian all-rounder launched an all-out attack from the beginning. He smashed 111 off 56 balls with nine fours and nine sixes, racing to his hundred in only 49 deliveries.

LSG kept the scoreboard moving throughout the innings. Nicholas Pooran added quick runs in the middle overs, while captain Rishabh Pant delivered a fiery finish with an unbeaten cameo in the final overs that pushed the home side beyond the 200-run mark.


RCB’s bowlers struggled badly on a flat surface as boundaries kept flowing under the lights.

Virat Kohli falls for duck as RCB chase goes off track early

RCB’s chase started in the worst possible way. Mohammed Shami removed Jacob Bethell early before Prince Yadav produced one of the biggest moments of the night by bowling Virat Kohli for a duck.

That early blow increased pressure on the visitors, but Rajat Patidar responded aggressively. The RCB skipper smashed 61 off 31 balls and shared an important partnership with Devdutt Padikkal to drag the chase back on track.

For a brief period, RCB looked favourites again. Then Prince Yadav returned to shift momentum once more. The young pacer dismissed Padikkal and Jitesh Sharma to finish with a crucial three-wicket haul.

Tim David’s late attack almost steals the game

RCB still refused to back down. Tim David launched a brutal counterattack in the closing overs, while Krunal Pandya and Romario Shepherd kept the equation alive till the very end.

The visitors needed a strong final over to complete the chase, but Digvesh Rathi held his nerve brilliantly and denied RCB a last-over escape. Lucknow eventually sealed a tense win that sent the home crowd into celebration mode after weeks of disappointment.

What this means for IPL 2026 points table

Despite remaining near the bottom of the standings, LSG now have a small opening to revive their campaign after registering only their third win of the season.

RCB, meanwhile, continue to stay inside the top four despite the defeat. However, this became their first failed run chase in five attempts during IPL 2026.
