Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow SuperGiants Betting Tips

Post their narrow and memorable win against Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Chinnaswammy, Lucknow fell off the rails completely. A loss against Punjab was followed by a close win against Rajasthan. However, their failure to chase down 136 against Gujarat was the beginning of a torrid run of games for the KL Rahul-led team. A win against Punjab Kings was swiftly followed by a ‘battle at the Ekana’ which not only cost Lucknow two points but also resulted in the loss of Rahul, who suffered a season sending injury. They were completely outplayed by Chennai in the following game but the Rain Gods, with the scoreboard reading 125/7 in 19.2 overs, smiled down on them to gift them an unlikely point. A 56 run loss against Gujarat, coupled with Mumbai Indians going on a run, has ensured that they still hold on to the fourth place with a hungry chasing back on their tails.

In a complete contrast, Sunrisers Hyderabad had a torrid start to the season losing the first two game by margins of 72 runs and 5 wickets. They did get two wins over consecutive games against Punjab Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders but it seemed to a waste as they suffered three more losses on the trot immediately after. A convincing nine run win over Delhi seemed to give them some hope, but a failure to chase down nine in the last over against KKR swiftly brought that dream to a conclusion. However, true to their topsy turvy season, they pulled one out of the bag with a miraculous win against Rajasthan to regain hopes of an unlikely post season appearance. They are the only team in the IPL that still have four games to play and a winning run could very easily earn them that coveted fourth spot on the table.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow SuperGiants Match Toss Prediction

In the five matches that have been played at the venue so far, Hyderabad have won the toss thrice and opted to bowl first on every occasion. However, that only resulted in one win against Punjab Kings, who put up a sub par 143 in the first innings. Much like the rest of the IPL, even the slow Hyderabad wicket has now seen two captains choosing to bat first after winning the toss and it has resulted in two wins for those teams. As such, it is very likely that the team winning the toss will opt to bat first considering the 4-1 win ratio at the venue this season.

Weather Report

The great news for cricket fans is that there is absolutely no chance of rain deciding to impact play during the game. However, the bad news is one for players as the minimum temperature during the game is expected to a be a very hot 34C.

Sunrisers Hyderabad Team Form

While Sunrisers have lost three out of their last five games, they do have two wins in their last three. It could have been better for them had Abdul Samad been able to get nine against KKR in the last over, but the SRH star redeemed himself against Rajasthan with a last ball six to earn his side two valuable points.

Predicted Playing XI

Lucknow SuperGiants Team Form

Ever since the post match bust up between Virat Kohli and Naveen ul Haq/Gautam Gambhir, Lucknow have been on the downward trajectory. They were lucky to earn a point against Chennai - a game they were destined to lose - which would have relegated them to four losses in five. A win here is a must for them but based on recent performances, it is very difficult to see it coming anytime soon.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow SuperGiants Head-To-Head

With Lucknow coming into the league last season, the two teams have squared off just twice so far. Lucknow have had the bragging rights with no check marks in the loss column so far. While it was Avesh Khan (4/24) who ran through the batting order last season, it was the now captain Krunal Pandya’s 3/18 that laid the foundation for an LSG win this time around.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow SuperGiants Betting Odds

Lucknow Supergiants to have a better Powerplay Score than Sunrisers Hyderabad

While both teams have changed their opening batters, albeit for different reasons, it is Lucknow Supergiants that boast of a more threatening lineup. With the return of Quinton de Kock as Rahul’s replacement, Lucknow should go all out to utilize the field restrictions. This was evident in their last game against Gujarat where the openers scored an astonishing 72 runs in the first six overs. For Hyderabad, the top three of Amnolpreet Singh, Abhishek Sharma and Rahul Tripathi are explosive in their own right but it appears they have slowed down recently to avoid the collapses that cost them games at the start of the season. In Klassen, Markram and Phillips, they have more firepower down the order which would mean that they would not risk too much up top.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow SuperGiants Best Batters

Rahul Tripathi to be SRH’s best batter (Melbet)

Is there really anyone else that you can trust in this team? Not only is he the top scorer for the team this season, in the reverse fixture, it was Tripathi’s 35 that allowed SRH to get past the 100-run mark. Even though he was not the top scorer in the last game, his 47 came at a slower pace which implies that he has been asked to anchor the innings going forward.

Quinton de Kock to be LSG’s best batter (Melbet)

For a guy who scored 508 runs for Lucknow last season, it was a shocker that he was left on the bench for as long as 10 games. When he did get a chance, following Rahul’s withdrawal, he put up a cool 70 runs against Gujarat. With Kyle Myers at the other end, one can expect de Kock to play a more measured innings against Hyderabad.

Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow SuperGiants Best Bowlers

Mayank Markande to be SRH’ best bowler (Melbet)

Even though Bhuvneshwar Kumar has been exceptional in the powerplay and the death recently, LSG might not be the best match up for him. The slowness of the wicket might assist Markande more than any other bowler, and his 11 wickets, which is the highest for SRH, is testament to his performance in the IPL this season.

Ravi Bishnoi to be LSG’s best bowler (Melbet)

In a team that puts up a new bowling attack every game, Ravi Bishnoi is the one constant in Lucknow. But it is not the only reason that we have picked the leggie as the best bowler for the game as he has been exceptional for his side this season. 12 wickets at a strikerate of 18.2 almost promises a wicket a game which would set one up nicely for a payday.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Sunrisers Hyderbad

Sunrisers Hyderabad are one of the teams that have made a comeback into the playoff race after being out of it for a majority of the campaign. After winning just two games in the first seven, they have doubled that number in the last three to bring their points tally to eight with four games to go. Lucknow, on the other hand, have fallen from grace dramatically. After winning three out of their first four games, they have slipped up, with just two wins in their next seven games, and are on the verge of dropping out of the playoff spots. The bookmakers have taken that into account but have still sided with Lucknow as the favorites for the tie. However, that just works in our favour as we believe SRH will walk away with the points in this one and we get a great price for it as well.
