Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will meet Sunrisers Hyderabad(SRH) on match number 10 at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium Lucknow.
LSG is standing 5th in the points table while SRH is standing last in the points table.
LUCKNOW SUPER GIANTS (LSG):
KL Rahul will be very much pleased by the return of Quinton De Kock. LSG started their journey with a superb victory over DC but they failed a little short against CSK. They lost the previous match by 12 runs.
Once again the 5 wicket debutant Mark Wood impressed with his bowling and grabbed 3 wickets against CSK. Ravi Bishnoi also gives full support to him and he also claims 3 wickets with an impressive economy of 7 only. But the remaining bowlers were clueless in front of CSK batters due to which they made 217 runs.
LSG started steadily and then Mayers started hitting everywhere into the ground and scored 53 runs in 22 balls. He made 2 half centuries in 2 matches. After his departure some quick cameo of Pooran, Stoinis and Badoni was there but that was not enough to get par the CSK’s score and LSG scored 205/7 and lost the match by 12 runs.
One of the main headaches for the team will be the addition of De Kock so there might be a drop between Pooran or Stoinis. It will be difficult to drop one among them.
SUNRISERS HYDERABAD (SRH):
SRH will be pretty much happy by having their regular captain Captain Aiden Markram present in the match against LSG. Markram along with two other South Africans Marco Jansen and Heinrich Klassen joined the squad. This will highly boost SRH after their huge loss against RR by 72 runs.
SRH bowlers just look hopeless against the RR batters. Samson, Butler and Jaiswal half centuries took RR to 203/5. Fazalhaq Farooqi and T Natarajan got 2 wickets each. But all the bowlers get bashed by RR very brutally.
It was hard for the SRH batsmen to stand in front of RR bowlers. They got out in regular intervals and only Abdul Samad fought and scored 32 runs a ball. SRH only scored 131/8 in 20 overs and lost the match by 72 runs.
Addition of three proteas will definitely help the team to make a great comeback. It is also the debut captaincy of Aiden Markram in IPL therefore it will be interesting to see how his captaincy changes the fortune of the team.
HEAD TO HEAD (LSG vs SRH):
They only played one match against each other.

This match will be held at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium Lucknow and here the pitch is generally black soil therefore it will give assistance to pacers due to its bounce and also some help to the wrist spinners.
