The final league-stage clash of IPL 2025 will see Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) take on Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Tuesday, May 27. It’s a must-win game for RCB to seal a top-two finish, while LSG, already out of playoff contention, will look to end their season on a high.
While the batters have dominated recent matches on high-scoring pitches, quality bowling could still make the difference in this high-stakes encounter. Fantasy cricket players on Dream11 and My11Circle should keep a close eye on bowlers who can make an impact, especially in the middle and death overs.
Here are three bowlers who could pick the most wickets in today’s RCB vs LSG game and be valuable additions to your fantasy team:

Veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar brings with him years of experience and the ability to swing the new ball — an asset in pressure games like this. So far in IPL 2025, he has picked up 13 wickets in 11 matches, averaging 29.38 with an economy rate of 9.09.
Though Bhuvneshwar had an expensive outing in RCB's last match against SRH, he still managed to grab a wicket. His knack for striking in the powerplay and controlling the tempo in the death overs makes him a valuable fantasy asset. In a crucial tie where RCB need their experienced bowlers to step up, expect Bhuvi to bring his best to the table.

New Zealand pacer William O’Rourke has made an impressive start to his IPL journey, filling in for the injured Mayank Yadav. In just two games, he has claimed four wickets at an average of 14.50, showcasing his ability to extract bounce and movement.

His standout performance came in the last match against Gujarat Titans, where he scalped 3 wickets for just 27 runs, removing key batters like Sudharsan, Rutherford, and Tewatia. With momentum on his side and the pitch in Lucknow offering some assistance to seamers, O’Rourke is a top differential pick for your fantasy lineup.

This season, Digvesh Rathi, a young left-arm spinner, has been LSG's most impressive bowler. In his debut campaign, he has already bagged 14 wickets in 12 matches, with a decent average of 28.07 and an economy rate of 8.18.
After missing the previous game due to suspension, Rathi is set to return for this crucial clash. In his last match against SRH, he dismissed in-form openers Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan, showcasing his ability to break partnerships. His control and accuracy in the middle overs make him a key pick — especially on a surface that may offer some grip for spinners.
As RCB fight to finish in the top two and LSG look to play party spoilers, bowlers will have a crucial role to play in this high-pressure fixture. Digvesh Rathi, William O’Rourke, and Bhuvneshwar Kumar are the bowlers to watch — all of them capable of picking multiple wickets and earning valuable fantasy points.
Make sure to slot these three into your Dream11 and My11Circle teams to maximize your chances of topping your fantasy league on matchday.
