Lucknow Super Giants eye revenge on Sunrisers Hyderabad after 2024 loss

Prepare for an exciting high-scoring match as Sunrisers Hyderabad get ready to face Lucknow Super Giants at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Thursday. This is the same venue where they hammered Rajasthan Royals with the second-highest score in IPL history, posting 286 runs. The two teams have met four times, with Lucknow holding a 3-1 advantage over Hyderabad.

In their previous encounter, Sunrisers Hyderabad crushed Lucknow Super Giants’ playoff aspirations by defeating them by 10 wickets, successfully chasing 166 runs in just 9.4 overs, with Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head leading the charge. This year, SRH still have these two explosive players in their squad, along with Ishan Kishan, who scored a century in their last match against the Rajasthan Royals. Additionally, they have Nitish Reddy and Heinrich Klaasen further down the batting order, with Klaasen’s reputation preceding him.
