SRH vs LSG 2025 IPL Match Timeline
Sunrisers Hyderabad will face Lucknow Super Giants at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad in their seventh match of Indian Premier League 2025, starting at 7:30 PM IST with toss taking place at 7 PM. Live coverage can be seen on Star Sports Network; streaming may also be available through JioHotstar app/website in India.
The Sunrisers have won three and lost four matches so far while LSG have managed just one victory against five losses, both teams have negative net run-rates and must win all remaining games to qualify for playoffs. Pat Cummins-led Sunrisers currently are two victories away from securing top spot on the table; winning against LSG could bolster this position even more.
SRH holds an impressive head-to-head record against LSG, winning four out of five encounters. Meanwhile, their opponents are struggling for form, not winning any of their last five outings and may need a boost against SRH in order to stay alive in playoff contention by taking three wins out of their remaining four matches against SRH, RCB, and Delhi Capitals respectively.
At Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, fast bowlers have found success at bowling quickly but batting can be tricky due to its natural characteristics. Both sides must adjust accordingly; in SRH’s case this means recalling Atharva Taide and Harsh Dubey from injury as replacements for Jaydev Unadkat and Travis Head while LSG have brought in New Zealander William O’Rourke as cover for injured Mayank Yadav.
SRH vs LSG 2025 IPL Match Prediction
Sunrisers Hyderabad have won five of their past six matches against LSG, but LSG are in with a chance of pulling off an upset in this match-up. Both teams are evenly matched and both will look to improve upon last season’s performances. LSG are one of the newest IPL teams but have done exceptionally well since being founded; qualifying for the playoffs twice and placing seventh overall in 2024. Rishabh Pant has recently been appointed captain, so hopefully their winning streak continues!
SRH had some early difficulties with their bowling game, but are much stronger now. With an unbeaten overall record in this tournament and looking to improve upon that strength of performance.
Sunrisers Hyderabad batsmen have struggled this season, yet their top order has shown promising signs of life. Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head have excelled recently while Ishan Kishan has also played some remarkable innings; together they boast an outstanding combined strike rate of over 200 and could prove crucial in winning matches for Sunrisers.
Earlier, SRH took an impressive first innings lead with an unbroken opening stand of 115 runs off 10 overs from their opening pair – led by Marsh’s impressive 65 off 39 balls.
However, due to a spate of wickets that saw Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan fall quickly thereafter, leaving Henrich Klassen and Kamindu Mendis with an uphill task of picking up where their predecessors left off – although both did their part admirably enough in their limited innings innings. The target was revised down from around 220 runs down to below 200 before play was called off altogether.
SRH will need to bowl more overs and restrict scoring in order to regain their place in the hunt for a play-off spot. A poor start in the powerplay could prove disastrous; with 10.5 an over in average wickets conceded per over, batsmen will look to capitalise off good work by their bowlers but will require something of a miracle to win this match.
SRH vs LSG 2025 IPL Match Preview
With a win here, SRH could disprove LSG’s playoff aspirations and secure their place among the four playoff spots. But they will need favorable results from other teams to continue moving through this tournament.
LSG’s recent collapse can largely be traced back to their middle order’s poor form. Rishabh Pant and David Miller’s inability to perform in the death overs has left their hosts heavily reliant upon Abdul Samad and Ayush Badoni for timely runs during crucial phases.
Even though they lost the toss, SRH opted to bat first despite losing it and they started well with openers Taide and Abhishek Sharma building an excellent partnership of 116 runs off just 78 balls before Taide was knocked out by New Zealand fast bowler William O’Rourke’s quick bowling, leading to further collapse within LSG’s innings and ultimately all out for just 206 runs.
SRH were able to reach their target with 10 balls remaining, making an easy pursuit. Taide reached his fifty quickly while Shakib Al Hasan added some boundaries as he will look for more fifty-plus scores this season.
As for the spinners, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Rashid Khan made an impactful showing against Rajasthan in their most recent matchup. Both have become central components in SRH’s final overs success against their hosts, so their efforts will be vitally important to SRH’s chances against them.
Lucknow’s Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium offers a difficult wicket that favors bowlers who maintain line and length, with teams that batted first winning just eight out of 19 IPL matches held here while those chasing have recorded 10 victories.
With their low net run rate, LSG must win their remaining games and hope other teams falter if they want any chance at reaching the playoffs. Unfortunately for them they will be without speedster Mayank Yadav due to back injuries; Will O’Rourke from New Zealand will need to fill his shoes as Will O’Rourke won’t play for LSG anymore; while only Sharma stands as an overseas player and will likely play up front.

Lucknow Super Giants captain Rishabh Pant faces Sunrisers Hyderabad under Pat Cummins for an important game on Monday at BRSABV Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. LSG have only won one out of their past five matches; to make playoffs this season they must win both matches against SRH and Gujarat Titans as well as hope other results go their way.
Both teams have faced off five times throughout IPL history, with Sunrisers winning one match while losing four times – with their most recent encounter coming back in 2024 when SRH emerged victorious. Toss will take place on May 19 at 7:00 pm IST.
Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and elected to bat first, making some changes such as Atharva Taide replacing Jaydev Unadkat and Harsh Dubey taking Travis Head’s place. LSG also brought in New Zealand pacer William O’Rourke as an injury replacement for Mayank Yadav.
SRH were in control during the opening stages of their innings but quickly found themselves losing wickets at an increasing rate. A brilliant knock from Abhishek Sharma helped reduce their deficit slightly but unfortunately fell short of their target and suffered yet another defeat.

LSG are currently seventh in the table, but a win could put them into the hunt for a playoff berth with Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals still playing. They got off to an excellent start thanks to Mitchell Marsh’s splendid 86 and an energetic cameo from Aiden Markram, but their top order struggled and Nicholas Pooran did not show his best form tonight; unfortunately it wasn’t enough for LSG to secure victory on such an even pitch.
