LSG vs SRH, IPL 2025: Match Overview

This match is very important for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) as they are still in the race for the final playoff spot. They are competing with Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians. LSG must win their last three matches and also hope other results go their way. A loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) would end their playoff hopes.

LSG have faced several problems this season. Nicholas Pooran is out of form, Mayank Yadav got injured, Shardul Thakur has struggled, Ravi Bishnoi has been ineffective, and David Miller hasn’t delivered. Most worrying is captain Rishabh Pant’s poor form with the bat, which has also affected his captaincy.

Sunrisers Hyderabad are already out of the playoff race. They are now looking to test their squad for next season. Despite a strong start, they’ve had a poor run of games and now sit in the bottom half of the table.

Key players like Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Mohammed Shami, and Pat Cummins have all struggled. If SRH play well as a team, they could beat LSG and avoid finishing last. But it won’t be easy, as LSG have beaten them in 4 out of 5 IPL meetings.

At the toss, Pat Cummins mentioned that they were unsure about how the surface would behave. He said:

“We will have a bowl. You never know what to make of the wicket.”

On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant stated that they were comfortable with either option. He said:

“We don’t mind anything. The wicket looks good whether you bat first or bowl first.”
