IPL 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow Super Giants Match Preview: LSG aims to bounce back against a confident SRH on Thursday at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.

IPL 2025, Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow Super Giants Match Preview: LSG looks to rebound against a high-flying SRH on Thursday at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
The Sunrisers, meanwhile, are in red-hot form after dismantling Rajasthan Royals with a record-breaking 286/6 in their own backyard. As if the explosive trio of Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Heinrich Klaasen weren’t enough, Ishan Kishan further added to the carnage with a blistering century.
No Room for Complacency
Since last season, SRH has maintained a staggering average score of 233 while playing in Hyderabad. The last time they faced LSG at this venue, they put on a dominant show, chasing down 166 in just under 10 overs. Head and Abhishek tore through the LSG bowling attack, maintaining relentless aggression from start to finish.
That crushing defeat proved costly for LSG, knocking them out of playoff contention. However, ahead of their upcoming showdown, SRH remains determined to stay sharp, recognizing the threat posed by LSG’s firepower with Rishabh Pant, Mitchell Marsh, and Nicholas Pooran in the lineup.
The Sunrisers are riding high after a sensational performance against Rajasthan Royals, where they racked up a record-breaking 286/6 in their own backyard. As if Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, and Heinrich Klaasen weren’t enough to tear through the opposition, Ishan Kishan joined the onslaught with a breathtaking century.
Staying Focused
Since last season, SRH has consistently dominated in Hyderabad, averaging a staggering 233 runs per innings. Their last encounter with LSG at this venue was nothing short of ruthless—they chased down 166 in under 10 overs, with Head and Abhishek launching an all-out assault on the LSG bowlers.
That demoralizing loss cost LSG a spot in the playoffs, but this time, SRH remains vigilant. They know better than to let their guard down, especially against a side featuring dangerous game-changers like Rishabh Pant, Mitchell Marsh, and Nicholas Pooran.
Marsh Focused on Strengths, Avesh Boosts LSG’s Hopes
“The only plan is to score more runs—that’s it,” Mitchell Marsh stated confidently. “The key for us is to focus on our strengths and play our game. No doubt, Sunrisers have put several teams under pressure, but that’s the nature of T20 cricket these days. A score of 230 is now the new par on most grounds, so while we respect that, our focus remains on our own game,” he added.
In a big boost for the Super Giants, Avesh Khan is fit for the upcoming clash. After overcoming a right knee issue, the pacer is ready to return, and his deadly yorkers could play a crucial role on Hyderabad’s batting-friendly surface, where bowlers get little assistance.
Meanwhile, the Sunrisers will come out with an aggressive mindset, not just aiming for victory but also seeking to dominate and mentally wear down their opponents as the tournament progresses. With their backs against the wall, can LSG rise to the challenge? It will take a monumental effort to defy the odds.
