SRH vs LSG Match Preview- IPL 2025, Match 7

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)

Sunrisers Hyderabad announced their arrival in IPL 2025 with a record-breaking 286-6 against the Rajasthan Royals, the second-highest total in IPL history. Ishan Kishan stole the show with a breathtaking 106 off 47 balls*, while Travis Head smashed 67 off 31 balls.

With Abhishek Sharma, Kishan, Head, and Heinrich Klaasen, SRH possesses one of the most explosive batting lineups in the tournament. Their strategy is simple – attack from ball one and set massive targets.

In the bowling department, Mohammed Shami and Simarjeet Singh will lead the pace attack, while captain Pat Cummins and Harshal Patel will operate in the middle overs. Adam Zampa is expected to be the primary spin option.

SRH Predicted Playing XI:

Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Aniket Verma, Abhinav Manohar, Pat Cummins (c), Simarjeet Singh, Harshal Patel, Mohammed Shami

Impact Players: Jaydev Unadkat, Abhinav Manohar, Sachin Baby, Atharva Taide, Adam Zampa

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)

Lucknow Super Giants suffered a last-over heartbreak in their first match against Delhi Capitals. Mitchell Marsh (72 off 36) and Nicholas Pooran (75 off 30) powered them to 209-8, but they failed to defend the target as Ashutosh Sharma pulled off a stunning heist.

Their batting looks solid, with Aiden Markram, Pooran, Marsh, Rishabh Pant, and David Miller forming a dangerous middle order. However, their bowling attack is their biggest weakness.

With key pacers injured, LSG struggled against Delhi, conceding 210 runs. The return of Avesh Khan is a big boost. Still, Shardul Thakur, Ravi Bishnoi, and inexperienced bowlers like Prince Yadav, Digvesh Rathi, and Shahbaz Ahmed will need to step up against SRH’s batting firepower.

LSG Predicted Playing XI:

Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni, Rishabh Pant (c & wk), David Miller, Prince Yadav, Digvesh Rathi, Shahbaz Ahmed, Shardul Thakur, Ravi Bishnoi, Avesh Khan

Impact Players: Akash Singh, M Siddarth, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Aryan Juyal, Abdul Samad

Key Battles to Watch in SRH vs LSG

Travis Head vs Shardul Thakur

This battle could determine the remainder of the innings. Travis Head has made an impressive start to his IPL 2025 campaign, scoring 67 runs off 31 balls, including nine fours and three sixes, in his first game against the Rajasthan Royals.

Head is expected to be aggressive in the upcoming match as well. Shardul Thakur will need to contain him, especially after taking two wickets in his first over against the Delhi Capitals.

Heinrich Klaasen vs Manimaran Siddharth

This upcoming battle could be crucial in determining the outcome of the game. Heinrich Klaasen poses a significant threat to LSG, especially after his impressive performance in the previous match, where he scored 34 runs off just 14 balls.

Klaasen will be looking to deliver another impactful inning in the next game. Meanwhile, LSG will hope that their left-arm spinner, Manimaran Siddharth, can work his magic and dismiss Klaasen early.

Nicholas Pooran vs Harshal Patel

The battle between Nicholas Pooran and Harshal Patel will be an interesting one as well. Ashutosh is set to bat in the middle overs for LSG, a period where Harshal usually operates.

Pooran has started his campaign in IPL 2025 on a good note. Although his team suffered a loss in the last game, Pooran stood out with his batting performance. The West Indies star smashed 75 runs off just 30 balls and will be eyeing another big score in the upcoming game. SRH will be relying on Harshal to ensure that Pooran does not run away with the game

LSG have a solid batting lineup, but their weak bowling attack could be exposed by SRH’s power hitters. Unless Avesh Khan and Ravi Bishnoi produce something special, SRH should dominate.
