LSG vs SRH, IPL 2025: Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips and Pitch Report | Lucknow Super Giants vs Sunrisers Hyderabad
LSG vs SRH, IPL 2025 - Dream11 Prediction (PC: X)

The Ekana Cricket Stadium is set to host the 61st match of IPL 2025 as Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). While both teams are eager for a victory, their motivations differ significantly.

LSG are in a precarious position, holding onto faint playoff aspirations from their seventh spot on the points table. To have any chance of qualifying, they must secure wins in all their remaining fixtures and hope for favourable results elsewhere. Their recent form has been concerning, with four losses in their last five outings. A struggling middle order, including key players like Rishabh Pant and David Miller, has put immense pressure on finishers like Abdul Samad and Ayush Badoni. Compounding their woes, the bowling attack has the league’s worst powerplay economy rate, and injuries have hit their pace battery, although uncapped spinner Digvesh Rathi has been a bright spot.

Sunrisers Hyderabad, currently eighth and out of playoff contention, will be playing for pride and aiming to disrupt LSG’s plans. Last season’s finalists have had a disappointing campaign, with their usually explosive opening pair of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma failing to consistently fire. Their spin attack has also struggled to make an impact.

Ekana Cricket Stadium Pitch Report

The surface at this venue appears to be one where batters are likely to hold a slight advantage. However, the new ball could offer some assistance to the fast bowlers in the initial overs, potentially providing early breakthroughs. As the innings progresses and the ball gets older, the spinners are expected to come into play and could prove to be effective in the middle overs, dictating terms and looking for wickets. Teams will need to assess the conditions early and adapt their strategies accordingly, balancing aggressive batting with careful navigation against the bowlers who find their rhythm.
