LSG are holding on to faint playoff hopes as league phase winds down, needing Rishabh Pant, Aiden Markram and their other batsmen to score big scores for them in their remaining three matches in order to advance to playoffs.
Ekana Stadium pitches tend to be uneven and provide some support for spinners and occasional fast bowlers, making it more challenging for either team to gain momentum on this surface.
This plays a crucial role in the lucknow super giants vs sunrisers hyderabad timeline, as both teams often struggle to build rhythm on such unpredictable conditions.

SRH vs LSG 2022
At DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai, these two teams will face each other. SRH have an uphill climb on the points table while LSG have yet to win their inaugural game of the season.
SRH will aim to improve their performance in their remaining matches of this season. They were outplayed against Rajasthan Royals on day one and must win all their remaining games to qualify for play-offs.
Kane Williamson will hope his side can improve in the final overs, where they have struggled this season. Sundar Ramnareddy have one of the strongest batting lineups in the league but need to improve their bowling performances for maximum effectiveness.
In their previous match against Delhi Capitals, Sunrisers Hyderabad were able to hold off DC’s late surge and secure a 10-wicket win despite DC’s late charge, yet their performance in the final overs was not sufficient to secure them a place in the play-offs.
Now looking towards LSG who have struggled this season as their opposition, hopefully fortunes may change against an underachieving team such as themselves.
Earlier, the hosts won the toss and elected to bat first. KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock provided an encouraging start before Washington Sundar removed both players in quick succession; Romario Shepherd was then dismissed by Bhuvneshwar Kumar as their score slumped to 27/3 at the end of powerplay.
Nicholas Pooran’s brilliant 62 (32) propelled the hosts to an impressive 182/6 total in 20 overs, though Ravi Bishnoi’s double strike in the 15th over halted their momentum and Heinrich Klaasen worked tirelessly to keep up the chase.
SRH struggled in their final overs, losing three wickets for just 16 runs. To avoid conceding so easily in these death overs, their bowlers need to improve in this crucial area and ensure opponents do not score freely – this applies particularly to Avesh Khan, Dushmantha Chameera Andrew Tye and Marcus Stoinis who must all improve their performances, with Bhuvneshwar Kumar leading by example with disciplined efforts from his bowling unit.

With explosive batsmen like Nicholas Pooran, Heinrich Klaasen, and Quinton de Kock in action – making for a game filled with power-hitting drama!
SRH won the toss and elected to bowl first. KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock gave the hosts an encouraging start before Bhuvneshwar Kumar removed them in the fourth over. Nicholas Pooran and Marcus Stoinis then quickly increased scoring;
Pooran hit Mayank Markande for consecutive sixes before Washington Sundar broke up the partnership but quickly continued scoring runs for his side.
Abhishek Sharma then created history by scoring an incredible 59 off 18 balls – the third fastest fifty of this season!
His sixes off Ravi Bishnoi in the seventh over were not enough for LSG to reach their target, as Abhishek was eventually dismissed by Digvesh Rathi – and it appeared they may struggle even to cross 200.
Ishan Kishan and Kamindu Mendis ensured the match did not turn into an all-out one-sided affair. Both scored 71 and 72 runs respectively to help their side fight back, but could not take their team past the finishing line.
Through this loss, LSG were officially eliminated from the tournament with just three wins out of their six opening games – an extremely disappointing outcome given their high expectations when starting off the competition.
SRH have taken full advantage of their dominant start to the season and are on the cusp of sealing top spot in the table with just one win remaining.
After five matches unbeaten and undefeated SRH look set to capture their sixth consecutive IPL crown – not only would this mark their first ever win at home but it would also place a significant dent in Delhi Capitals chances who currently sit second in standings.
