SRH vs LSG Match Prediction– Who Will Win Today IPL Match? IPL 2024 Match 57

The SRH vs LSG IPL 2024 match will be played on May 8, Wednesday from 7.30 pm IST. This is the first meeting between the two sides this season. 

Overall, the two teams have played three matches with LSG winning all three games. They have won one in Lucknow, one in Hyderabad, and the other at a neutral venue. 

SRH vs LSG Team Analysis

Lucknow Super Giants 

The Super Giants lost to KKR by 98 runs which is a big loss in the contest of the season as of now. The loss has pushed them out of the top four as of now with Lucknow dropping to the fifth position on the points table.

They were bowled out for 137 against KKR which was not an impressive batting performance by the side. They miscalculated their batting approach in the game. Not playing either of Quinton de Kock or Kyle Mayers was a mistake by the side. Winning the next three games on the road will be a challenge for them.

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Hyderabad are still within the top four despite their loss against MI in the last game. They have a game to play against Mumbai Indians before taking on LSG. The side has never beaten the Lucknow Super Giants yet in the IPL.

However, the advantage for the Sunrisers is that they will be playing their last three games at home where they know the conditions well. SRH have lost two games chasing and LSG might want to exploit that part of their game. 

SRH vs LSG Key Factors 

Pitch Conditions 

SRH have won three out of the four games at home. They play three more games at home and have a real opportunity to make the most of the conditions. Hyderabad so far has been a high-scoring venue and SRh with their batting firepower can continue to dominate at home if they bat first and post totals. 

Form and Fitness 

SRH batters and bowlers are in the pink of their health. There are no injury concerns in the camp Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma hold the key with the bat. With the ball, the bowlers have stood up as well. 

LSG have few injury concerns with Mayank Yadav ruled out for the rest of the season. Mohsin Khan unfortunately injured his head while trying to take the catch against KKR. He might miss out on the next match. Form wise the batters and bowlers need to regain confidence and mojo.

Tactical Acumen

Rahul's decision of not including either Quinton De Kock or Kyle Mayers as the overseas opener in the last few games has not gone well for the side. Against KKR, they had an opportunity to do that with LSG chasing a big score but Rahul did not do his calculations and it was a tactical error on his part. 

SRH will be playing at home and Pat Cummins, the skipper is well aware of his team's strengths and weaknesses. Being a successful international captain, he is expected to read the conditions and react according to the situation.

SRH vs LSG Match Prediction– Who Will Win Today IPL Match? IPL 2024 Match 57

Though SRH are yet to win against LSG in the IPL, heading into this game they have the upper hand as they are playing at home and LSG are fresh off a big defeat against KKR. 

Conclusion

SRh at home should back themselves to win this match. LSG on the other hand, will play all their remaining games away from home, and hence winning will be a challenge.
