LSG vs SRH: Do-or-Die Clash for Lucknow in IPL 2025

Lucknow Super Giants are still in the race for the IPL 2025 playoffs but have no room for error. With 10 points from 11 matches, LSG must win all their remaining three games to stand a chance of qualifying. However, even a clean sweep might not be enough unless other results go in their favour. This makes their match against SRH a virtual knockout game.

On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad are already out of the playoff race and will be playing for pride. The Rishabh Pant-led side has had a disappointing campaign and will be looking to test bench strength and give opportunities to promising talents.

LSG’s Struggles and SRH’s Opportunities

LSG’s recent form hasn’t been encouraging. They have lost four out of their last five matches in IPL 2025, showing signs of low confidence and inconsistency. However, a brief break before this fixture may help them regroup and return stronger.

Nicholas Pooran remains LSG’s standout batter, while openers Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh will be expected to provide solid starts. In the bowling department, Digvesh Rathi has been the only bright spark in an otherwise underwhelming attack.

Pant, who was bought for a record Rs 27 crore in the last IPL auction, has had a very poor season so far. He has scored only 128 runs in 11 matches, with an average of 12.80 and a strike rate of less than 100. With his name being considered for India’s Test vice-captain role, the LSG captain will be eager to play well and improve both his form and reputation.

For SRH, players like Nitish Kumar Reddy and Ishan Kishan will be eager to perform well and make a case for future India selections. Abhishek Sharma, who was left out of the national setup, will aim to prove his critics wrong with a solid performance.
