HYD vs LKN Match Preview

Sunrisers Hyderabad are fourth in the points table with 6 wins and 5 defeats so far. The loss to Mumbai Indians in the last game would have dented their spirits a bit. They will expect their powerful batting order to come to their rescue in a crunch game. Travis Head has been in ominous form this season while Abhishek Sharma can take the game against any bowling attack. The presence of Heinrich Klaasen in the middle order makes his batting line-up a dangerous one. On the bowling front Natarajan has been excellent at the death while skipper. Pat Cummins has been impressive throughout the season. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is getting better and he will be a threat on this wicket with the new ball.

On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants suffered a thrashing loss to Kolkata Knight Riders in their previous game. Their net run rate has taken a toll and they will be eager to bounce back strongly. They have a solid batting line-up with skipper KL Rahul at the top. Marcus Stoinis and Nicholas Pooran have been excellent throughout the season but lack of runs from Deepak Hooda and Ayush Badoni have affected their batting performances. The bowling has been affected by the unavailability of Mayank Yadav. LSG will expect the other fast bowlers like Mohsin Khan and Naveen-ul-Haq in an important game. Spinners Ravi Bishnoi and Krunal Pandya are likely to face a huge challenge in front of aggressive SRH batting line-up.
