Lucknow vs Hyderabad Who will Win- IPL 2025 61st Match Prediction

This clash is about more than just points—it's a battle of resilience, redemption, and reputation. With just three games left in the league stage for both teams, every win and every decision could change the playoff picture.

Match Overview – LSG vs SRH Today Match Prediction

Lucknow Super Giants are in a precarious position on the IPL 2025 points table. With only 10 points from 11 matches, they currently sit in seventh place and must win all three remaining games to even stand a chance at qualifying. Even then, a negative Net Run Rate of -0.469 means they’ll need other results to go their way. Their recent form has been a concern, with four losses in their last five matches. Injuries haven’t helped their cause either, with pacer Mayank Yadav ruled out and replaced by New Zealand’s Will O’Rourke.

LSG's campaign has been derailed by inconsistent middle-order batting and death bowling woes. However, their batting has shown promise through Aiden Markram, Rishabh Pant, and Nicholas Pooran, while spinners like Ravi Bishnoi continue to provide breakthroughs.

Meanwhile, Sunrisers Hyderabad are already eliminated, having registered only three wins from 11 games. With playoffs out of reach, they’ll play the role of spoilers—an often dangerous position for a team that has nothing to lose. Under Pat Cummins’ leadership, SRH will aim to salvage pride and potentially dent LSG’s playoff ambitions, especially after having lost to LSG earlier this season.

Pitch Report – BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow

The Ekana Stadium in Lucknow is known for its slow, low-bounce surfaces and large boundaries that make stroke-making a challenge. The average first-innings score here is a modest 167, but teams have needed to aim for 180+ to feel safe due to dew setting in the second half.

Spinners and bowlers who rely on variations thrive here, and death bowling becomes crucial. That said, dew in the second innings can heavily impact the bowling side’s ability to control the game, especially with a wet ball. Chasing teams have had a slight edge, winning 10 out of 19 matches played here in IPL history.

Average 1st Innings Score (IPL 2025): 167

Best Total in IPL 2025 at Venue: 202/5

Matches Won While Chasing: 10

Toss Strategy: Bowl First

Players to Watch – LSG vs SRH Match 61

Probable Best Batter: Aiden Markram (LSG)

The South African batter has been a consistent performer for LSG this season. With 348 runs from 11 innings, Markram has been instrumental in giving solid starts at the top of the order. His aggressive intent and ability to rotate strike make him a crucial player on a challenging Ekana pitch.

Probable Best Bowler: Harshal Patel (SRH)

Despite SRH’s struggles, Harshal Patel has been a standout performer with the ball. With 14 wickets in 10 games, he has been effective in the middle overs and at the death. His slower deliveries and cutters could be highly effective on the sluggish Lucknow surface.

Match Prediction – Who Will Win LSG vs SRH?

Scenario A: Lucknow Super Giants Bowl First

SRH Powerplay Score: 55-60

SRH Total: 160-170

Prediction: Lucknow Super Giants to win

LSG’s spinners and slower bowlers could dominate on a dry Ekana pitch. If they restrict SRH to a sub-par total, their top order is well equipped to chase it down, especially with dew likely to assist in the second innings.

Scenario B: Sunrisers Hyderabad Bowl First

LSG Powerplay Score: 60-65

LSG Total: 170-180

Prediction: Sunrisers Hyderabad to win

If SRH gets the ball in the second innings and dew becomes a major factor, their batting order—featuring Klaasen, Abhishek Sharma, and Travis Head (as Impact)—can chase down totals up to 180 comfortably.

Final LSG vs SRH Prediction: Team Bowling First Favoured to Win

Given the conditions at Ekana, the team that wins the toss will almost certainly opt to bowl first. Dew has been a major factor in evening games, and with both teams relying on slower bowlers, defending a total becomes a tall task.

If LSG bowls first: They are likely to win.

If SRH bowls first: Upset on the cards—SRH could take it.

With LSG’s playoff hopes hanging by a thread, expect them to come out with intensity and urgency. But don’t rule out SRH—they have the firepower to pull off a surprise.
