The final league-stage match of the IPL 2025 season promises to be a high-octane battle as Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) host Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Tuesday, May 27.
While RCB have already secured a playoff berth, a win today could confirm a top-two finish for them, offering an extra shot at the final. LSG, on the other hand, are no longer in playoff contention but will aim to sign off the season on a winning note, especially after their recent victory over Gujarat Titans.
With both teams featuring explosive batting lineups, fantasy cricket players on Dream11 and My11Circle will have plenty of options. Here are three batters who could prove to be match-winners and are must-picks for your fantasy teams:

The explosive left-hander from the Caribbean has been a consistent performer for LSG this season. Nicholas Pooran has racked up 511 runs in 13 matches, averaging 46.45 with a fiery strike rate of 198.83. Due to his five half-centuries, he is a dependable middle-order fantasy pick.
In LSG’s previous outing, Pooran played a blinder against Gujarat Titans, hammering an unbeaten 56 off just 27 balls, including 4 fours and 5 sixes. He’s in red-hot form and, with the match being played at home, expect Pooran to take charge once again. His finishing abilities and fearless batting make him a game-changer for any fantasy team.
Virat Kohli is a popular choice for fantasy reliability and consistency. The former Indian skipper leads RCB’s batting charts with 548 runs from 13 innings, averaging 60.88 with a strike rate of 145.35. Virat Kohli has hit 7 fifties, proving his worth as a top-order anchor.

Against SRH in the last game, Kohli was in fluent touch, scoring 43 off 25 balls with 7 boundaries and a 6. Though he couldn’t convert it into a big score, his form and intent were clear. In a must-win match, expect Kohli to deliver a captain’s knock and anchor RCB's innings with his classical strokeplay and aggressive mindset.

Mitchell Marsh, the opener for LSG, has been outstanding all season. With 560 runs from 12 games, including a century and five fifties, Marsh is currently LSG’s top run-getter. He averages 46.66 with a blistering strike rate of 161.84, making him an ideal fantasy captain or vice-captain pick.
In the previous match against Gujarat, Marsh produced a batting masterclass, slamming 117 off 64 balls with 10 fours and 8 sixes. If he carries that form into the match against RCB, he could be the highest scorer of the day. His ability to dominate bowlers from the outset makes him a top pick for your Dream11 and My11Circle fantasy lineups.
As RCB aim for a top-two finish and LSG seek to bow out with pride, fantasy players can expect a run-fest in Lucknow. Nicholas Pooran, Virat Kohli, and Mitchell Marsh are in peak form and have all the ingredients to light up the scoreboard. Including these three in your Dream11 or My11Circle fantasy team could be the winning strategy for today’s IPL 2025 clash.
