How are you all? I hope you are doing fine. India and the rest of the world are watching IPL consistently, and the excitement has been at its peak this year as well. We have already seen some clinch thriller matches, and some of the teams have been very excited as they are playing a new approach to cricket in T20s. Let’s talk about this match, SRH vs LSG.
On March 27th, Sunrisers Hyderabad will be hosting a match against Lucknow Super Giants at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. This game will see both teams having a different start to their previous matches. Rajasthan Royals were beaten by SRH, and Delhi Capitals were defeated by LSG. See what can happen in this game.
What Happened in the Previous Match?
LSG didn’t know what hit them in their match against DC. Last year in Hyderabad, SRH defeated LSG by 10 wickets with 62 balls to spare. Since then, there have been some tensions between, then LSG captain, KL Rahul, and the owner. Now, under Rishabh Pant’s captaincy, LSG has a lot to prove.
- LSG almost won their first match against Delhi Capitals but their bowling failed to defend at the crucial juncture in the death overs.
- An experienced bowler like Ravi Bishnoi was not very effective.
- Avesh Khan has joined the team, but the bowling still looks weak.
On the other hand, SRH performed brilliantly in their previous match.
- Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma gave SRH a quick start.
- Ishan Kishan scored 106 runs off 47 balls.
- SRH’s top 6 batsmen had a strike rate of over 200.
- However, SRH’s bowlers also conceded a lot of runs. Pat Cummins gave away 60 runs in 4 overs.
Will Aiden Markram Open Against His Former Team?
From 2022 to 2024, Aiden Markram was a member of Sunrisers Hyderabad and is currently captaining the team that leads Sunrise Eastern Cape in the SA20. His total score was 849 during his 36-inning innings.. His first match for LSG will be against SRH. It will be fascinating to witness him facing off against his former team.

What Is the Biggest Question?
SRH’s top-order batsmen will start aggressively, and that’s for sure. But how to stop them? Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Ishan Kishan are all left-handed batsmen, so would it be right to bring Ravi Bishnoi to bowl early?
- What should LSG’s bowlers do to stop SRH’s top order?
- Focus on their best bowling.
- Surprise SRH with spin and bowling changes.
Why Are All Eyes on Pat Cummins and Rishabh Pant?
Pat Cummins is returning from an injury layoff. In SRH’s first match, Cummins played his first T20 since the 2024 MLC. While everyone’s eyes will be on SRH’s batsmen, Cummins’ bowling can also change the course of the match.
The gap between expectations and reality still exists in Rishabh Pant’s T20 career. He should bat in the top order, or at least bat when he doesn’t have to face spin right away.
- Rishabh Pant was dismissed for 0 off 6 balls in LSG’s first match.
Some Important Stats:
- Head and Abhishek have the best opening partnership strike rate of 225.08 which is the best in 15 or more T20 innings.
- The last time these two teams met where they, Head and Abhishek, chased a target of 167 runs in 9.4 overs.
- David Miller has a T20 strike rate of less than 100 against SRH’s bowlers.
