The IPL 2025 SRH vs LSG Predictions will be an exciting battle, as Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) prepare to battle Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on March 27, at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. SRH will be hoping to double their points, while LSG will seek to bounce back from a heartbreak in their first fixture.
Match Preview: SRH vs LSG – What to Look Out For
The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) enter this matchup with an impressive 44-run win against the Rajasthan Royals in IPL 2023’s first match of the season.
The Orange Army put up an amazing performance scoring a league-record total of 286/6 in their innings, the second-highest total in IPL history, thanks to a brilliant century from Ishan Kishan.
Important contributions followed from Heinrich Klaasen, Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Nitish Kumar Reddy, to founder their victory. The bowlers contributed well too, as Harshal Patel picked up some wickets in the middle while Simarjeet Singh took a few good wickets in the first few overs leading toward the Sunrisers win.
Meanwhile, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) were rattled ending a close loss to the Delhi Capitals in their first match. An explosive couple of half-centuries from Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran gave hope, however the LSG innings crumbled in the middle and end.
LSG finished with a total of 209/8, which was not high enough to match the great batting from brilliant Delhi innings by Ashutosh Sharma, ending the match with some fantastic batting scoring 66 runs from 31 balls to secure the greatest victory in a very close match.
Key Factors for SRH in IPL 2025
SRH will be seeking to carry their winning form forward, supported by a high-scoring batting unit. Their score of 286 against Rajasthan Royals was a statement of intent, and if they stick to that aggressive style of play, they’ll be very difficult to defeat.
The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium pitch has been very conducive for batsmen, and SRH’s power hitters will seek to take advantage of these conditions again. With Harshal Patel, their bowlers, playing their best, SRH will try to hold back the middle overs and peg LSG’s batting run.

Challenges Facing LSG: A Win-Must Scenario
It was a gutting defeat for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) as they went down against Delhi Capitals, despite having the match well under control at that stage. They need to deliver on their end now, stopping the rival side from setting a massive score once again.
LSG’s batting, while robust with the presence of Pooran and Marsh, lacks consistency during the middle overs. They’ll try to get back to the drawing board and demonstrate that their first match was a one-off.
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium Pitch Report
Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is a very high-scoring ground. There have been multiple games during the last three seasons that have had totals above 200 runs.
The conditions at this venue have proven to be great for batting, and therefore it will be important that the team that wins the toss chooses to bat. Chasing more than 250 runs, which has happened in past years, can be a very daunting task on this pitch. Teams will aim to set a hefty target and try to make it as hard as possible for the opposition team when chasing.
