Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) play the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in what promises to be an entertaining IPL 2025 encounter at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad, on March 27th. SRH, led by Pat Cummins, have shown us the outlines of their explosive batting strength, with Heinrich Klaasen, Travis Head, and Abhishek Sharma offering a lethal top order. But their death overs bowling is a concern. Conversely, LSG, under the leadership of Rishabh Pant, have a balanced team with key contributions most probably to be provided by Nicholas Pooran in the middle order and Ravi Bishnoi in the spin department. Hyderabad's pitch is usually a batting paradise, with high-scoring games, but spinners may come into the picture as the game progresses. LSG have dominated history, winning two out of their previous three meetings, with a thumping seven-wicket victory in the previous season. Both teams will be looking to settle down at the start of the tournament, and the match will rest on the stability of Pant and how well SRH can cope with LSG's big hitters. Toss could be the game-changer as chasing has been preferred at this venue. Search for a heart-stopping duel between bat and ball in the Hyderabad lights.
