Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will be up against each other in match No.61 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The contest will take place at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow. Let’s check the LSG vs SRH playing 11 for today.
LSG have a tiny chance of qualifying for the playoffs but needs 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.
