The Lucknow Super Giants captain, KL Rahul, notes that the pitch favors batsmen, expressing their intent to set a high target. Pat Cummins echoed similar sentiments, stating that had he won the toss, he too would have opted to bat first. This also means that both captains are not worried about dew later in the evening.
Despite some record-breaking knocks and 2nd highets powerplay average in this season, SRH have been on a backfoot lately. In the last 4 matches, Sunrisers have lost three games. Known for their monstrous batting, they have scored less than 175 runs in three matches. Their opening duo - Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head have made runs with an average of 26 at a strike rate of 136. In fact, they have the second-lowest batting average - 23.4
Lucknow Super Giants must address their opening combination. The choice to omit Quinton de Kock didn't yield favorable results, as young Arshin Kulkarni struggled in the past two matches. It remains intriguing to observe whether they will reintroduce De Kock or Devdutt Padikkal to achieve the left-right combination alongside KL Rahul.
It's a special match for Sunrisers Hyderabad as their captain Pat Cummins is celebrating his 31st birthday today. The Orange Army would like to gift a win tonight.
Rains had disrupted the parctice session of Lucknow Super Giants yesterday. As we said just a while ago, rains may impact teh game tonight as well. In such a scenario, chasing should be a preferred option. However, it should be noted that in the three out of four games played here, team batting first has emerged as winner.
Sunrisers Hyderabad will be determined to break their streak of losses against Lucknow Super Giants at home in the IPL 2024. The former champions, who clinched the title in 2016, have suffered defeats in all three of their previous encounters against Lucknow Super Giants. In their latest clash in the IPL 2024 in Hyderabad, Lucknow Super Giants secured a convincing 7-wicket victory over SRH. As SRH prepares to face LSG once again, the question arises: Who will emerge victorious in this showdown between equals?
Hyderabad has been witnessing light rains as well as thundershowers in some areas for past couple of days. Latest weather reports say that Uppal may witness some light shower in the evening.
The livstreaming of SRH vs LSG match will begin from 6:30 pm onwards on the mobile app of JioCinema as well its website. For those interested in watching the match on TV, they can tune in Star Sports Network.
SRH have hit the most sixes in the powerplay this season, 41 to LSG's 20, while going at a run rate of 11.04 as compared to LSG's 8.48. In the death overs, they have hit 36 sixes, again the most, while LSG's 16 sixes are the fewest in that phase. LSG's batters will need to level-up as they play their last three league games on the road at potentially high-scoring venues: Hyderabad, Delhi and Mumbai.
Things have been inconsistent for the Orange Army as far as teh bowling department goes. In today's match, Pat Cummins would want his bowlers to be more disciplined. The 102 off 51 deliveries ton by Suryakumar Yadav must be fresh on minds of SRH. The seven-wicket win really complicated the matters for the Orange Army and they would like to make amendments tonight.
Things are more or less organised for top two spots. Kolkata Knight Riders are leading the charts with Rajasthan Royals at second number. It's complete muddle from here on. Four teams are tied at 12 points. These are - defending champions Chennai Super Kings, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants. Matches of these teams will determin the fate of number 3 and number 4 spot in the playoff. Stakes are high and it's high-octane drama from here on.
There's some sense of confidence for Pat Cummins & co. They will be playing their remaining league matches at Uppal, which has been the venue of their wins in three out of 4 matches. In terms of overall innings average, there have been 8 matches here so far. Out of 8 times, 5 matches saw teams scoring 200+ on the borad with 92 sixes. SRH will want to showcase their batting prowess once again tonight.
Well, it wasn't something that either Sunrisers or Lucknow would have wanted. Both teams suffered huge losses in their last matches. While Lucknow Super Giants were plundered by Kolkata Knight Riders and Ekana, Sunrisers were defeated by Mumbai Indians by a significant margin. Hence, the win today is very important in this high-stake war at Uppal.
