During the five fixtures between the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), the former is leading by a margin of 4-1, with the only win for the 2016 champions coming in the 2016 edition.
The two franchises will face each other on May 19, 2025, at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow in the LSG vs SRH encounter.
While the Pat Cummins-led side has already been officially eliminated from the playoffs race, the Super Giants will need to win all the last three remaining victories, besides expecting a few results to go in their favor.
Lucknow is the worst franchise with the ball inside the first six overs of the innings. They have leaked 696 runs in 11 innings at an average of 46.40 and a strike rate of 26.40. Their economy rate of 10.55 is the highest among all ten franchises.
One of the biggest reasons for that matter is that they have collected only 15 wickets in 11 innings before the LSG vs SRH clash, besides giving away 70 boundaries and 38 sixes at the best bowling figure of 4/58 in an innings. Because their dot percentage is so low, the opposition batters can hardly feel the pressure.

For the Sunrisers Hyderabad, it’s nearly the same story. Pat Cummins’s army has given away 665 runs in 11 innings at an average of 36.94 and a strike rate of 22 with an economy rate of 10.08, which is the second-worst of all the franchises.
Hyderabad has picked up 18 wickets in 11 innings, with the best bowling figure of 4/26 in an innings. The surfaces in Hyderabad are flat and helpful for the batters to score runs easily and aggressively.
