IPL 2025: Sunrisers Hyderabad Face Lucknow Super Giants in Crucial Clash
Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will play Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the seventh IPL 2025 match on March 27 at 7:30 PM (IST) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. Both sides will be looking for a crucial win, but they approach the match with differing form.
SRH began their campaign in a bang with a comprehensive win over Rajasthan Royals (RR), registering one of the highest-ever scores in IPL history. Their batting unit gave a collective masterclass, securing a 44-run victory and gaining the number one position in the points table. Under the leadership of Pat Cummins, SRH has a potent batting lineup comprising Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan, and Heinrich Klaasen.
Conversely, LSG endured a devastating one-wicket defeat against Delhi Capitals in a spin-fest high-scoring thriller. Even after posting a tough 209-run target on a spin-friendly ground, they could not resist a dogged fightback by Delhi, ably spearheaded by Vipraj Nigam and Ashutosh Sharma. Rishabh Pant-captained LSG will be keen to get back on track and achieve their first win of the season. Their team boasts reliable match-winners such as Nicholas Pooran, Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, and David Miller.
SRH captain Pat Cummins has led in 16 IPL games, winning nine at a 56.25% rate. Rishabh Pant's Hyderabad record is not good with 80 runs in four innings at a mean of 26.6.
