LSG's bowling is lacking, over 300 runs will be scored today for the first time in T20 history if SRH wins the toss

The seventh Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 match will be played today between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG). It is the first occasion in the match to be played in Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad when a score greater than 300 will be seen. The main reason for this is the poor bowling of Lucknow.

The Lucknow team suffered a huge setback even before the start of the IPL. The team's four fast bowlers, Avesh Khan, Mayank Yadav, Mohsin Khan, and Akashdeep got injured. All these players are currently in NCA and are undergoing rehabilitation. They are waiting for a fit certificate from the NCA. In such a situation, Lucknow has to field the team with Shardul Thakur, Prince Yadav, Digvesh, and M Siddharth.

The bowlers look weak in the face of the dangerous batting line-up of Hyderabad. Sunrisers Hyderabad batsmen lashed the bowlers of Rajasthan Royals in the opening game. Ishan Kishan of Hyderabad had shown in the last game through his century that the bowlers will not be untouched this time.

Silencing Sunrisers Hyderabad batsmen is also a job for Lucknow Super Giants skipper Rishabh Pant on the Hyderabad ground. As Hyderabad openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma are giving the team a rapid start.

After this, Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen in the middle order are scoring runs rapidly. In the first match, Sunrisers Hyderabad scored 286 runs against Rajasthan Royals on the strength of these players. It is also very difficult for bowlers to save runs on the Hyderabad pitch. Out of the seven matches played here last year, six matches have scored more than 200. Batsmen do not show mercy on bowlers here.

Sunrisers Hyderabad is a strong team on the Hyderabad ground on the strength of its batsmen. But, in the history of IPL, they have got a tough competition from Lucknow Super Giants. If we look at the statistics, 4 matches have been played between the two teams in IPL so far, out of which the Lucknow team has won the match thrice, while the Hyderabad team has been able to win only once.

Probable playing 11 Team of Sunrisers Hyderabad – Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen (wicketkeeper), Abhinav Manohar, Aniket Verma, Pat Cummins (captain), Harshal Patel, Mohammed Shami, Adam Zampa.

Probable playing 11 Team of Lucknow Super Giants – Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant (captain and wicketkeeper), David Miller, Ayush Badoni, Shahbaz Ahmed, Shardul Thakur, Ravi Bishnoi, M. Siddharth, Digvesh Singh.
