Lucknow super kings

Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket: Former India cricketer Robin Uthappa believes the IPL 2025 Qualifier 1 clash between Punjab Kings and Royal Challengers Bengaluru, to be held in Mullanpur on Thursday, will be a humdinger of a game.

He added that despite RCB beating Lucknow Super Kings by six wickets, PBKS have the edge over them due to the Shreyas Iyer-led side featuring in the playoff clash at their home ground, the Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium.

The winner of Qualifier 1 will directly enter the title clash, to be held on June 3 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, while the losing team will take on the eliminator-winning team at the same venue on June 1. RCB have just a day’s break to prepare for Qualifier 1 as their win over LSG happened on Tuesday night at the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
