Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) faced a defeat against Delhi Capitals (DC) in their first match. Now, they will need to be cautious of the aggressive batting lineup of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). This IPL 2025 match will take place on Thursday at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Uppal.

Last year’s finalist, SRH, delivered a stunning performance in their first match by defeating the Rajasthan Royals (RR) by 44 runs. They narrowly missed breaking the record for the second-highest team score in IPL history (286/6). After this incredible performance, the team, led by Pat Cummins, is currently at the top of the points table. In this article, we will share all the details about the SRH vs LSG match, including the preview, key stats, probable playing XI, and the latest updates.

SRH’s Explosive Batting Lineup

Sunrisers Hyderabad’s batting lineup is a powerhouse, ready to destroy the opponent at any moment. In the last match, Ishan Kishan alarmed everyone by scoring an unbeaten 107 runs off 47 balls. Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, and Heinrich Klaasen are already in excellent form, while Nitish Kumar Reddy scored at a strike rate of over 200 against the Rajasthan Royals (RR). SRH’s batting is so dangerous that even a small mistake can turn the match. In the first five matches of this IPL, a record 119 sixes have been hit.

Will Pant and LSG Correct Their Mistakes?

LSG faced a tough 1-wicket defeat against Delhi Capitals (DC), with their batting slowing down in the middle overs. Only 76 runs were scored in their last 8 overs, losing 6 wickets. Rishabh Pant scored 0 runs off 6 balls and missed a stumping in the final over. LSG’s bowling also seems weak. Ravi Bishnoi is experienced, but apart from him, Manimaran Siddharth and Digvesh Rathi have not played many matches.
