The wicket in Lucknow has been higher-scoring than expected this season, and this game could play along similar lines. LSG's bowling attack, especially in the powerplay, is one of the weakest in the league, and it's tempting us to double up on the RCB opening pair.
Mitchell Marsh is in terrific form this season, and with a hundred in his last outing, it's next to impossible to ignore him for this fixture. While we would be tempted to take a punt on Rishabh Pant, especially if he opens the batting, for now, we will likely play it safe by going with Nicholas Pooran.
Coming to the bowling options, we're backing the talismans of the respective teams to come good. Digvesh Rathi will return to the side from his one-match suspension, while Josh Hazlewood is expected to make his comeback to the RCB playing XI, making them both quite easy transfers in.
IPL Fantasy 2025 - Fantasy XI for Match 70 - LSG vs RCB: Thoughts and Captaincy Tips
Players playing in Match 70: Phil Salt (RCB) (WK) (10 Credits), Josh Hazlewood (RCB) (BOWL) (8.5 Credits), Mitchell Marsh (LSG) (ALL) (9 Credits), Nicholas Pooran (LSG) (WK) (10 Credits), Digvesh Rathi (LSG) (BOWL) (7 Credits), and Virat Kohli (RCB) (BAT) (10.5 Credits).
With neither team's bowling attack looking threatening enough in front of their respective batting might, we're likely to back the batting options from both teams for captaincy in this fixture, unless the pitch report suggests otherwise.
