SRH vs LKN Dream11 Prediction: There is not much of a difference between these two sides at this stage of the tournament. However, Lucknow might just have enough advantage in their batting to beat Sunrisers in this match.
Match: Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow Super Giants, Match 58
Venue: Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad.
Time: 3:30 PM IST
Lucknow Super Giants has won only one of their last five matches in the second half of the tournament and is coming into this match by conceding 227 against Gujarat.
Sunrisers, on the other hand, is coming on the back of a morale boosting win against a strong Rajasthan side away from home, chasing a mammoth 215 in a last over thriller.
Krunal Pandya took a brilliant 3-fer in the last match between these two sides earlier this season.
Overall, Krunal has a bowling strike rate of 9.60 against Sunrisers with 5 wickets.
Sunrisers also has been the worst team against left arm spinners this season with highest dismissals (10) against them and worst average of 13.90 as well.
Abhishek Sharma has been in great touch lately, having scored two half centuries in the last three games.
Both Kyle Mayers and Quinton de Kock looked in great touch as LKN’s top order continued to fire.
Mayers is Lucknow’s highest run getter with 359 at a strike rate of more than 150 and de Kock made 70 off 41 in his very first game this season.
Mohsin Khan can be another player to watch out for in this game as Sunrisers got the worst average this season against left arm seamers as well.
Marco Jansen has 6 wickets in Hyderabad this season at a strike rate of 12. Basically all left arm seamers have done well at SRH home venue this season.
Rahul Tripathi showed some form in the last game against Rajasthan, scoring 47 off 29.
Lucknow has been the worst team against right-arm off spinners this season. However, there is a right arm off spinner option to go for SRH in this match except skipper Aiden Markram himself.
Overall, Heinrich Klaasen has been SRH’s best batter in the last few games. He has 146 runs at a strike rate of 187.18 in the last four games.
Naveen-ul-Haq took 7 wickets at a strike rate of 10.29 in his last three games before missing out in the last game. He might come back into the XI for this game.

Poor form alert (SRH)
Aiden Markram has 58 runs in the last four innings at an average of 14.5
Brook has 7 runs in the last 3 innings.
Markande has only 3 wickets in the last 16 overs.
Poor form alert (LKN)
Krunal has only 2 wickets in his last 13 overs and also has only 19 runs in the last 4 innings.
Stoinis has 23 runs in the last three innings.
Hooda has 23 runs in the last 3 innings.
As mentioned above, Krunal has been out of form both with the ball and bat. But considering what happened last time he played against SRH and SRH’s bad record against left arm spinners, Krunal can be worth taking a risk.
Abhishek Sharma has not done anything at Hyderabad’s home ground this season. He has a total of 15 runs in 4 innings he played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
However, considering Abhishek’s current form with the bat, he can be a huge difference maker to your points tally and will be a perfect risk-reward choice for this match.
Mohsin Khan has just made his return from injury and has not been able to create much of an impact.
However, considering the way left arm seamers are performing in Hyderabad this season, he can be a worthy pick. Moreover, Hyderabad averages around 18 against left arm seamers this season.
Glenn Phillips’ batting position does not make him an obvious pick for your Dream11. However, if opportunities arrive, he can be a great differential pick for this match.
Markram has failed to deliver as per his standard this season.
However, considering Lucknow’s poor numbers against right arm off spinners this season, Sunrisers might opt to use the only off spinning option in Markram in this match.
Abhishek Sharma, Anmolpreet Singh, Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram (c), Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Glenn Phillips, Abdul Samad, Marco Jansen, Vivrant Sharma, Mayank Markande, Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Probable Impact Sub: Yash Thakur
High risk to avoid players with high ownership (try to fit in most players with more than 60% ownership with not more than 2 differentials)

Spots left: 3
Highest ownerships from outside base team: Pooran, Tripathi, Badoni, Markram, Bhuvneshwar, Markande
Pooran vs Tripathi
Pooran has not been at his best in the last few games but will play a crucial role in LKN’s middle order countering SRH’s strong middle order enforcers.
Tripathi has just come into form in the last game. LKN has some serious seamers to counter the likes of Tripathi who has been below average against pace this season.
Bhuvneshwar vs Markram
Bhuvneshwar has not been at his usual best but still is doing just fine for the men in orange.
On the other hand, Markram has been picked by more than enough teams and considering his form should not be a sure starter in your Dream11.
Badoni vs Markande
Markande has not been at his best in the second half of the tournament. However, might just be a worthy pick in some of the teams due to wrist spinners doing well at this venue this season.
Badoni has done well more often than not whenever the team needed him the most. Can be a worthy pick if you want to keep it more than safe.
