IPL 2025 Lucknow Super Giants vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru – LSG vs RCB Best Dream 11 Team and Fantasy Playing 12
Royal Challengers Bengaluru in contention for the top 2 in our LSG vs RCB match 70 best playing 11 for Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025.
It’s the final match of the Group Stage of IPL 2025, and what a match we have in our hands. On one hand, we have a team that is already eliminated from the Playoffs race, Lucknow Super Giants. Whereas on the other hand, we have a team that has already qualified for the IPL 2025 Playoffs, but are in strong contention for a top 2 spot, Royal Challengers Bengaluru. Such intensity in terms of competition that even at match 70, we had the same excitement as we had for match 1.
The Royal Challengers Bengaluru team were the happiest to have seen Punjab Kings lose to Delhi Capitals. It opened the top 2 scenario completely as all four teams are now in the top 2 race. And until the RCB vs LSG match, one spot will still be up for grabs for the top 2. Since RCB will be playing last, they will have complete information on what they need to do to qualify for the top 2. They have to win the match for sure, and that too by a good margin to be able to qualify for the top 2.
Lucknow Super Giants, on the other hand, would like to end the season on a high. The team has 6 wins from 13 games, and 14 points ain’t a bad finish for them by any standards, especially considering their team’s weakness surrounding the bowlers. The team had an all-Indian bowling attack until the last few matches where they brought Will O’Rourke to solve their bowling woes. Overall, LSG’s bowling attack has only improved over the course of the tournament.

The final match of the tournament shall be played at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow.

The Lucknow Super Giants team will be without their star opener, Aiden Markram for the last group stage clash. Markram has left India to prepare for the WTC final, and with him not there, LSG will mostly be bringing in David Miller for the clash. This also means, we can expect Rishabh Pant as the opener alongside Marsh with Pooran batting at 3. The team will also see Digvesh Singh come in the side after completing the 1-match suspension.
