LSG vs SRH Match Preview

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will face up in the high-stakes IPL 2025 61st match on Monday, May 19, 2025, at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, beginning at 7:30 PM IST. Since both clubs are suffering around the bottom of the points table-SRH in eighth place and LSG in seventh-this matchup is essentially a make-or-break game for their chances of making the playoffs.

LSG comes into this game with a poor run of form, having lost four of their last five matches. In their most recent game, they try to chase the PBKS's massive 236/5 but they just managed a decent 199/7 and lost the game by 37 runs. The team's bowling has looked unstable so they need swift remedies to get back into the tournament.

However, Sunrisers Hyderabad has also had a poor tournament performance; in their previous five games, they have lost twice, drawn once, and won only one game. Their last encounter ended in a draw against Delhi Capitals due to rain, and prior to that, they fell short against Gujarat Titans, chasing a target of 224 and finishing at 186/6-losing by 38 runs.

LSG vs SRH Match Prediction

Although the two teams are in equal shape but LSG has a small advantage because of their home field advantage and batting power. If their bowlers can contain the SRH top order, they could seal a crucial win. Because of their familiarity with the home field and greater batting performance, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are favored to win this game.

Best Batsman Prediction

Nicholas Pooran (LSG) – Credits: 9.0 | Runs: 1267 | Avg: 42.23 | SR: 183.35

A destructive finisher, Pooran has been a vital cog in LSG's middle order. His aggressive stroke play and consistency make him a key fantasy pick.

Best Bowler Prediction

Pat Cummins (SRH) – Matches: 27 | Wickets: 31 | Best: 3/19 | Econ: 9.22

Cummins' ability to deliver under pressure and his experience makes him SRH's most reliable bowler, especially in power plays and death overs.
