Cricket Betting Tips for LSG vs RCB- IPL 2025 Match 70
Virat Kohli to score Over 33.5
The RCB opener is chasing the Orange Cap and has already breached the 500-run mark. He scored a forty-plus in the last game as well and looks in great form.
Nicholas Pooran to score Over 27.5
The Windies batter teed off in style in the opening phase of the tournament, but his form has dipped significantly. Betting on him will be a bit risky.
Ayush Badoni to score Over 18.5
Ayush Badoni is the only shining light in the middle order of LSG. He has scored 3 fifties this season and scored a fifty even in his last game against PBKS. A nice batter to bet on.

After a mixed run throughout the tournament, the team wants to capitalize on their strengths and deliver an impactful performance in their final match.

Batting depth and strategic execution have been their hallmark, with their top order setting the foundation while all-rounders have provided balance in both departments. Their bowling unit, featuring a blend of pace and spin, will play a decisive role in ensuring they dominate proceedings.

RCB needs to bounce back before the playoffs
A defeat by 42 runs at the hands of Sunrisers Hyderabad in their previous fixture has rocked RCB’s campaign for sure. Despite having a great run throughout the season, the Royal Challengers Bengaluru getting defeated right before the playoffs can be a massive dent to their confidence.
Heading into this future, Rajat Patidar and his men need to address their flaws from the last game and rectify them. Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s bowling in the absence of Josh Hazlewood has struggled a lot. However, the Aussie paceman is expected to return in this game and boost the bowling lineup.
Sunrisers Hyderabad’s risk-free hitting abilities haunted RCB in the last game, but with an eye set on the top two spots, RCB will come all guns blazing in this encounter to leave no stone unturned. Hoping for a great show from Royal Challengers Bengaluru in this fixture. Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips.
