Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow Super Giants, IPL 2023, Today Match Prediction

srh vs lsg Match Prediction & Analysis

We have entered the most crucial stage of the Indian Premier League 2023. The competition has heated up, and teams aren’t fighting for points but even the run rate. In this context, the 58th game between the Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Lucknow Super Giants will be important for both sides. Sunrisers defeated the Rajasthan Royals in the last game to keep their hopes alive. The Super Giants went down against the Gujarat Titans and need to make a comeback.  

The Sunrisers Hyderabad has had a disastrous record at home this season. They have won only once in the five games played in their backyard. It doesn’t inspire much confidence, as the top order has been inconsistent. The Lucknow Super Giants have suffered a major injury setback that has hurt the balance in the squad. With stakes high for both teams, we expect a close contest. 

TEAMS PREVIEW

Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview

Aiden Markram’s side put up its best show of the season in the last game. They defeated the Rajasthan Royals in a high-scoring contest, winning it by 4 wickets. It was a much-needed win for the side, which has struggled with form and consistency. Markram would like to use this momentum and win to keep their hopes alive for a berth in the playoffs. They have to beat their poor record at home this season.  

Abhishek Sharma and Anmolpreet Singh did well in the last game, and the pair needs to deliver a solid start. Rahul Tripathi has been consistent in the middle order, and he needs to build the innings with Markram and Heinrich Klaasen in the middle order. They will like runs from Glenn Phillips, Marco Jansen, and Abdul Samad towards the end.  

Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Marco Jansen haven’t been consistent with the new ball, and the side would want them to hit form in this game. Mayank Markande and T Natrajan have been the best bowlers this season and have a crucial role in the middle overs. Vivrant Sharma and Abhishek Sharma have crucial roles to play in the supporting role.

Lucknow Super Giants Preview

In the last three games, it has been two losses and a no-result for Krunal Pandya’s team. With KL Rahul out with an injury, the side is deprived of its best batsman. In the last game, they had a poor outing against the Gujarat Titans, going down by 56 runs. Pandya shall look to put these upsets behind them and win this game, as their opponents have several weaknesses up their sleeves.  

Kyle Mayers and Quinton de Kock shared an 88-run stand in the last game, and this pair must lay a strong platform at the top. The middle order hasn’t been consistent, and they will need runs from Deepak Hooda, Marcus Stoinis, and Nicholas Pooran in this game. Pandya can strike the ball cleanly and must do well with Swapnil Singh and Ayush Badoni in the lower middle order.  

Their bowlers fared poorly in the last game, and they will need good spells at the start from Avesh Khan and Krunal Pandya. Yash Thakur, Ravi Bishnoi, and Amit Mishra must bowl good lines in the middle overs to put Sunrisers under pressure. Swapnil Singh and Stoinis must do well in the supporting role.  

Top Batsman – Quinton de Kock

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies over Hyderabad will be clear on May 13. The wicket has been flat here, but spinners have also done well. Batsmen can play their strokes freely against fast bowlers. The side batting first would be happy to score 180 runs.

Venue Details

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad, has a good batting surface. We have seen batsmen do well in the past as the ball comes to the bat nicely. There isn’t much on this track for the fast bowlers; they must rely on their variations. Spinners have enjoyed the conditions and have been successful here.

Toss: To Bat

Four of the five games this season have been won by sides batting first on this track. The wicket gets slower, and it has made run chases difficult. It is an afternoon game, and batting conditions will be best at the start. The side winning the toss shall opt to bat first in this game.

SRH vs LSG
Winning Prediction

Sunrisers Hyderabad have had a dismal record at home this year. It has gone into their heads. The batting line-up has been inconsistent, and barring Markande, no other bowler has threatened batsmen. Lucknow Super Giants have the advantage of depth in their batting and bowling. They have a clear record against the Sunrisers, having won both their games against them. It will give them the edge.
