SRH vs LKN Dream11 prediction, IPL 2023: Fantasy Suggestions, Predicted Playing 11, impact substitute options

SRH vs LKN Dream11 prediction: Sunrisers Hyderabad will host Lucknow Super Giants in match 58 of IPL 2023 at the Rajeev Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Saturday (May 13). The match will be the first of the day's doubleheader and will start at 3:30 PM after the toss at 3 PM IST.

Sunrisers Hyderabad can't afford to lose any game as they are currently on eight points in 10 games and a defeat will make their chances of reaching playoff out of their own hands. LSG (11 points) are in a better situation as a win will put them back in the top four spot but the side failed to win their last three encounters.

As far as head-to-head is concerned, Lucknow Super Giants have won all their two games against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Their last encounter was early last month, which saw Lucknow beat SRH in a low-scoring match by five wickets.

SRH vs LKN injury update and key players

SRH injury update There's no fresh injury concern for SRH since Washington Sundar was ruled out. They are yet to name his replacement.

SRH key players Abishek Sharma has continued his good form with two half-centuries in three innings while Anmolpreet Singh has been recognised as his new opening partner as the youngster made a good case for himself with another 30-odd run knock.

Heinrich Klaasen is the most in-form batter of the team but bats as low as the second or third wicket down while Rahul Tripathi and Aiden Markram struggling to be consistent but have some good innings to their names.

Glenn Phillips added to SRH's firepower down the order with a 7-ball 25 in the last game while Abdul Samad finally won a game with a six off the last ball against Rajasthan Royals. Bowling, meanwhile, has been the weakness for the side with Mayank Markande, who is the top wicket-taker with 11 wickets, was expensive in the last game and picked just a wicket in two games.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar and T Natarajan have picked nine and eight wickets respectively this IPL but have struggled to be as influential as they were expected to be. Marco Jansen also has nine wickets to his name and has picked wickets in a bunch when the turf assisted.

Out of form Harry Brooks's bat went silent and lost his place to Glenn Phillips in the line-up while pacer Umran Malik has been out of the line-up too as he has struggled to contain runs.

LKN injury update There's no new injury concern for the Super Giants since Karun Nair replaced KL Rahul in the squad. However, in-form pacer Naveen Ul-Haq missed the last game but no update on his health.

LKN key players Quinton de Kock started his IPL 2023 with a bang as the batter scored 70 in his first outing. Likes of Kyle Mayers, Nicholas Pooran, and Marcus Stoinis have scored runs on surfaces, where the ball has come on the bat. Ayush Badoni has been in good form with a half-century recently but his batting position is not certain in the line-up.

Among bowlers, Naveen Ul-Haq, if fit, has been in form with six wickets in two games while veteran Amit Mishra has six wickets to his name but has struggled to take wickets outside Lucknow. Spinner Ravi Bishnoi has been the pick among bowlers with 12 wickets.

Skipper and spin all-rounder Krunal Pandya has been ineffective in the last four games while pacer Mohsin Khan returned to the line-up for the first time after injury but proved expensive with a spell of 1/42. His bowling partner from last season, Avesh Khan has blown hot and cold in IPL 2023.

Out of form Deepak Hooda continues to struggle with the bat while Mark Wood has lost his place in Lucknow's playing 11. Yash Thakur's form has dropped as well after a four-wicket spell in Mohali.
