LSG are hanging in the playoffs race by a thread.
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will be up against each other in match no. 61 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The contest will take place at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
LSG have a tiny chance of qualifying for the playoffs but need to win their remaining three games while relying on other results. They have 10 points to their name from 11 games, having won five and lost six of those.
The Pat Cummins-led SRH are out of contention for the playoffs. They managed only seven points from 11 games, with three wins and seven defeats.
Following a temporary suspension of IPL 2025, some overseas players have returned to India for the resumption while some opted against.
Unlike other teams, LSG do not have player availability issues for the resumption. However, Mayank Yadav was ruled out due to an injury, with Will O’Rourke coming in as a replacement.
LSG XI: Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant (c/wk), David Miller, Ayush Badoni, Abdul Samad, Digvesh Rathi, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan, Will O’Rourke.
Impact Players: Akash Singh, Himmat Singh, Shahbaz Ahmed, Shardul Thakur, Prince Yadav.
