The Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025) league stage is nearing its thrilling climax, and the 61st match promises high stakes as Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on May 19.
With LSG fighting for survival in a must-win game to keep their playoff hopes alive, this encounter will have major implications on the playoff scenarios.
LSG vs SRH Match Preview
Lucknow Super Giants, led by Rishabh Pant, are in a spot of bother, sitting seventh on the IPL 2025 points table with 10 points after 11 games. With only three matches remaining, LSG is in a must-win situation to stay in the hunt for the playoffs.
A loss against SRH would end their campaign, as they need to win all remaining games and hope for favorable results elsewhere. LSG’s recent form has been shaky, with four losses in their last five matches. Their batting relies heavily on Nicholas Pooran (410 runs), Mitchell Marsh (378 runs), and Aiden Markram (348 runs), while Shardul Thakur and Digvesh Rathi have been key performers with the ball, claiming 12 wickets apiece in the season so far.
Sunrisers Hyderabad, under Pat Cummins’ leadership, have already been eliminated from playoff contention, managing just three wins in 11 games. Despite their aggressive batting approach, which has not worked on most occasions this season, SRH have struggled to find consistency. Travis Head is unavailable as he has tested positive for COVID-19.
Their last outing against Delhi Capitals (DC) was abandoned due to rain, but they showed fight in restricting DC to 133 runs for 7 wickets. SRH will look to play a party spoiler by ending LSG’s playoff chances.
LSG vs SRH Head-to-Head
In their five IPL encounters, LSG holds a 4-1 advantage over SRH. Earlier in IPL 2025, LSG chased down SRH’s 190/9 in Hyderabad, winning by five wickets.
