LSG Vs SRH Preview: LSG look to bounce back against wounded SRH

LSG Vs SRH: Lucknow Super Giants have won one match and lost one, meanwhile, Sunrisers Hyderabad are yet to open their account in the IPL 2023.

In the 10th match of IPL 2023, Lucknow Super Giants will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad at Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow. Lucknow Super Giants started their season with a win against Delhi Capitals, but their fortunes turned sour in the following match where they suffered a defeat by 12 runs against Chennai Super Kings. Despite the setback, the team is eager to make a comeback and claim a victory in their upcoming game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Adding to their advantage, Quinton De Kock has joined the squad after fulfilling his international commitments.

Sunrisers Hyderabad suffered a crushing defeat by 72 runs against Rajasthan Royals in their opening game of the season. However, with that disappointing loss now behind them, SRH will be eager to bounce back in their next match against Lucknow Super Giants. The return of their captain Aiden Markram from international duty will provide a boost to the team and add to their motivation to turn things around.

LSG Vs SRH: Pitch Report

The black soil pitches at the Ekana Cricket Stadium are well-known for favoring pacers, thus making it a ground that is friendly to pace bowlers. However, during the middle overs of the game, spinners are also expected to play a crucial role. If a team is set, they can score runs when batting first, but chasing can become difficult.

Lucknow Super Giants will also receive a boost as Quinton de Kock is back in the squad. While Kyle Mayers has been in good form, De Kock's return adds significant depth to the team and he is expected to be immediately included in the playing XI. It is unlikely that Kyle Mayers will be dropped, meaning De Kock is most likely to replace Marcus Stoinis.

Aiden Markram, along with South African teammates Heinrich Klaasen and Marco Jansen, who recently returned from a 2-match ODI series against the Netherlands, have joined the SRH camp. Markram's leadership qualities are expected to provide a significant boost to the team as they look to bounce back against the Lucknow Super Giants. He will be included in the playing eleven and will take charge as the team's skipper, potentially replacing Adil Rashid. Meanwhile, Marco Jansen could replace Farooqi in the playing XI.
