Two teams from the bottom half of the tournament’s points table, Lucknow Super Giants and Sunrisers Hyderabad, will play each other in IPL 2025’s 61st game. The match will be hosted by the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium in Ekana on Monday, May 19, at 7:30 PM (IST). It will be a crucial game for both teams, considering their poor run of form in the tournament.
Rishabh Pant’s LSG have won five games while losing six in their 11 games, with 10 points to their name. They are currently in the seventh place and a win will propel them to the sixth spot, surpassing KKR. Speaking of SRH, they have already been knocked out of the tournament, with only three wins and seven defeats in their 11 games, which also includes a no-result game.
Given that, here in this listicle, we’ll have a look the predicted top 3 batters who might impress with their performances in the upcoming LSG vs SRH clash.
Nicholas Pooran
The star Caribbean batter has been in a stunning run of form for LSG in the tournament’s current season. He is the batter to score the runs with the highest batting strike rate for LSG in the current season. Pooran is also the leading run-scorer for his side in the tournament so far.
The Southpaw has scored 410 runs in 11 innings, with a brilliant batting average of 41.00 and an amazing strike rate of 200.98, hitting four half-centuries. It also includes an unbeaten appearance and the highest score of ‘unbeaten 87 runs in an innings.’
Mitchell Marsh
The star Aussie all-rounder has stunned everyone with his blistering batting performances for LSG in the ongoing 18th edition of the tournament. He has played as an impact player for his side in the tournament so far. The Aussie star is currently in the second spot on the list of leading run-scorers for LSG in the ongoing IPL 2025.
He has scored 378 runs in 10 innings, with an average of 37.80, hitting four half-centuries. He can also be in focus among the top three batters in the upcoming LSG vs SRH game in Lucknow.
Abhishek Sharma
The young SRH opener Abhishek Sharma has been one of the good things happened to SRH this season amidst the team’s dismal form in the tournament. He has scored runs with a swashbuckling batting strike rate of 180.45, alongside being the most run-getter for his side in the tournament.
Sharma has aggregated 314 runs in 10 innings, with a decent batting average of 31.40, hitting a century and a half-century. He has smashed 35 fours and 17 sixes with the bat in the tournament so far.
