Fighting for an exciting match on March 27, 2025, the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad will host the Lucknow Super Giants as Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) tries to double its points tally in SRH vs LSG. SRH started its IPL 2025 campaign with a resounding 44-run win over the Rajasthan Royals, putting a mammoth target of 286 for 6 runs.
Heinrich Klaasen, Travis Head, and Abhishek Sharma clinched the match in favor of the SRH team and complemented an incredible century from Ishan Kishan. LSG will be coming into this match looking to bounce back after a heartbreaking loss to Delhi Capitals, when Dimitri Marsh, Nicholas Pooran, and LSG fell short in the final moments of their innings after half-centuries from Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran. Their bowlers first put pressure on the opponents, only to let Delhi chase down the target by the narrowest of margins with one wicket in hand.

Predicted Best Performers
- Best Batter: Travis Head
Travis Head, on his sublime form in SRH’s first match, smashed 67 runs in 31 balls. His aggressive batting at the top order will be crucial for SRH’s triumph. He will be a big headache for LSG if he goes on to score runs from the first few overs.
- Best Bowler: Harshal Patel
Harshal Patel proved his worth during the first match of SRH when he used his slower balls to great effect to choke the opposition. With his adequate experience bowling in similar high-pressure situations, he will play a big role during the middle overs for SRH.

In SRH vs LSG, Sunrisers Hyderabad should, in all probability, win this match, considering their explosive batting order and the might of the squad. While SRH has the capability of posting big totals, LSG’s recent defeat and inconsistent performances tip the odds in their favor for this match.
