Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will lock horns with the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Match 61 of IPL 2025 on Monday at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow. With 10 points from 11 games, LSG sit seventh on the table and are still mathematically in the playoff race. However, a single defeat would end their campaign. SRH, already out of contention, will look to play spoilers and finish the season strong.
LSG are coming off three consecutive losses and now face the daunting task of winning all remaining matches—ideally with solid margins—to stay alive. Their bowling has struggled, particularly in the latter half of the season. Shamar Joseph remains the only unavailable player for the team.
For SRH, much depends on how their top order performs. The team looks formidable when openers get going, but early collapses have hurt them repeatedly. Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan, both of whom have notched centuries this season, need to deliver again. However, the side may miss Travis Head, who tested positive for COVID-19. A decision on his availability will be made closer to the game.
Pitch Report
With a short break since the last match at this venue (April 22), the pitch is expected to favour batters. While there’s little seam movement for pacers, spinners have found help throughout the season.
Weather
Conditions will be hot and energy-sapping, but the forecast shows no signs of rain.
Head-to-Head
LSG have a strong record over SRH, winning 4 of their 5 encounters, including the reverse fixture in Hyderabad.
Match Prediction
LSG hold the edge at home, but SRH’s fearless mindset could cause an upset if Lucknow buckle under qualification pressure.
