LSG vs SRH Dream11 Prediction, IPL 2025: As the Indian Premier League 2025 season hurtles toward its climax, Match 61 sees Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Monday, May 19.
The clash is do-or-die for LSG, while SRH are already out of playoff contention and looking to play spoilsport. LSG find themselves seventh on the table with 10 points from 11 matches, making a win here non-negotiable if they want to stay in the playoff hunt.

For SRH, it's about salvaging pride and momentum. With the return of some key international players and a bruised ego from their earlier loss to LSG, expect a spirited performance from the Orange Army.
The Ekana Stadium has proven to be a low-scoring venue this season, with an average first innings score of 167. The surface slows down as the match progresses, making batting increasingly difficult-especially against spin. Dew could come into play during the second innings, prompting the toss-winning captain to bowl first.
The weather will be clear and dry, with temperatures hovering around 28°C. There is little chance of rain, although the heat earlier in the day could test players' stamina.
Lucknow Super Giants: With just 10 points from 11 matches, LSG's playoff hopes hang by a thread. Star pacer Mayank Yadav is out with injury, replaced by New Zealand’s Will O’Rourke. The team needs to win all remaining fixtures and hope other results go their way. Nicholas Pooran has been their standout performer with 410 runs, while Mitchell Marsh and Shardul Thakur have also been key.
Sunrisers Hyderabad: Already out of the playoffs with only three wins in 11 games, SRH are playing for pride. Travis Head’s availability remains uncertain due to illness. The team will look to finish strong with Heinrich Klaasen, Abhishek Sharma, and Harshal Patel continuing to lead with impactful performances.
