SRH vs LSG Prediction: A monumental IPL 2025 encounter is on the horizon as Sunrisers Hyderabad host Lucknow Super Giants on Thursday (March 27).
Sunrisers started their season with a stellar performance as they won against Rajasthan Royals, while the Super Giants succumbed to a shocking defeat at the hands of Delhi Capitals.

Date: Thursday, March 27
Time: 7:30 pm IST
Venue: Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad
Captains: Pat Cummins (SRH), Rishabh Pant (LSG)
Historically, LSG have had the upper hand in this fixture, winning three out of their four encounters against SRH. However, SRH will aim to leverage their home advantage and current form to improve this record.
Incidentally, the solitary win for SRH came in IPL 2024 season and the match is infamous for the public reprimand of then LSG skipper KL Rahul by their owner, Sanjiv Goenka.
Sunrisers Hyderabad: Pat Cummins (c), Ishan Kishan, Atharva Taide, Abhinav Manohar, Aniket Verma, Sachin Baby, Heinrich Klaasen, Travis Head, Harshal Patel, Kamindu Mendis, Wiaan Mulder, Abhishek Sharma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Mohammad Shami, Rahul Chahar, Adam Zampa, Simarjeet Singh, Zeeshan Ansari, Jaydev Unadkat, Eshan Malinga
Lucknow Super Giants: Arshin Kulkarni, Mitchell Marsh, Rishabh Pant (wk/c), Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni, David Miller, Abdul Samad, Shardul Thakur, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Ravi Bishnoi, Shamar Joseph, Akash Deep, Shahbaz Ahmed, Manimaran Siddharth, Akash Maharaj Singh, Aiden Markram, Avesh Khan, Himmat Singh, Matthew Breetzke, Aryan Juyal, Yuvraj Chaudhary, Mayank Yadav, Prince Yadav, Digvesh Rathi
The Sunrisers hit the mayhem pedal from the very first match of the season, while Lucknow Super Giants will be extremely depleted after they effectively gave away the match against Delhi Capitals. The Super Giants are already crippled with the issue they have with their fast bowlers, but Avesh Khan is back, which is a big boost for them. The Orange Army at their home are always a daunting team. And the scores they have amassed this season can be a concern for any opponent.
LSG need inspiration after the manner of the defeat against the Capitals. They have a depleted bowling but their batting is extremely dangerous. With Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant, Mitchell Marsh in their ranks, the Super Giants can put SRH bowling under pressure. But when it comes to SRH, their relentless batting machinery can be daunting for any team and the home support and wave of Orange flags will also play a huge part physiologically for the Lucknow side.
Although LSG can surprise them with a rejuvenated performance on the day, the pendulum still favours Sunrisers massively for this encounter.
