The seventh game of IPL 2025 will see Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) take on Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Hyderabad. The Sunrisers have started their campaign with a bang and are looking like one of the most dangerous sides in the tournament. The injury-riddled Lucknow, meanwhile, lost an agonizingly close game to Delhi Capitals the other night and will be ruing their missed opportunities. At Hyderabad, you can expect another flat deck, where SRH’s power-packed batting unit will be waiting to dominate.

Sunrisers Hyderabad began their IPL 2025 campaign with a comprehensive 44-run win over Rajasthan Royals at Hyderabad. On a flat road of a wicket, SRH blasted 286-6 in their 20 overs – the second-highest IPL team total ever – courtesy of spectacular performances by Ishan Kishan (106* off 47) and Travis Head (67 off 31).
This will be the template for this power-packed SRH side throughout this season – they will blow away their opponents with a relentless assault and massive scores. And they have the tools to pull this off as well with the dangerous Abhishek Sharma and Head at the top, followed by the equally destructive Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen in the middle. To top it off, they also have Nitish Reddy to balance things out in case of a collapse.
Expect SRH’s openers to give the team a flying start and the middle order to continue the assault on this flat wicket at Hyderabad.
SRH’s bowling is better than last year with Mohammed Shami and Simarjeet Singh expected to open the attack. Captain Pat Cummins and Harshal Patel will then try and keep things tight in the middle overs with their slower ones and cutters. Meanwhile, for spin, they will rely on the experienced Adam Zampa to do the job.
The hero of the last game for SRH, Ishan Kishan announced his arrival with a magnificent 100. LSG has one left arm spinner and leg spinner which is an ideal match up in the middle overs. On a good batting track, another high scoring game is on the cards and we back Kishan to have a blast.

Lucknow Super Giants suffered a heartbreaking loss in their opening IPL 2025 encounter to Delhi Capitals. Batting first at Visakhapatnam, they put on a healthy 209-8 with sparkling fifties from Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran. They had Delhi reeling at 65-5 at one stage and were looking all set for victory before Ashutosh Sharma stole the game away from them to clinch a 1-wicket victory for the Capitals.
Lucknow would be ruing their missed chances in the game. They were 161-2 at one stage from 13.3 overs but a batting collapse meant they ended up much below what they could have achieved. The likes of Rishabh Pant, Ayush Badoni, and David Miller will need to step up in this game.
Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran, however, will need to do most of the heavy lifting for Lucknow if they hope to post a big score.
LSG’s bowling unit is their weak link. With most of their main pace bowlers missing due to injury, they had to depend on their second line of attack to do the job. Shardul Thakur has been a handy addition, but he has a tendency to go for runs. However, in some welcome news for the franchise, fast bowler Avesh Khan has been cleared and is expected to be available for selection for the match against SRH. His addition will greatly boost the team's struggling bowling attack.
That said, the likes of Manimaran Siddharth, Digvesh Rathi, and Prince Yadav are really inexperienced and will be targeted for sure by SRH’s in-form batters.
LSG will bank on leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi to pick up some crucial wickets in the middle overs to set Hyderabad back.
Nicholas Pooran smashed 75 runs in 30 balls in the last game against Delhi Capitals. At Hyderabad in 3 matches, he scored 113 runs and against SRH, he averages 60 in all IPL matches. Given his current form, we back Pooran to have another impactful knock against SRH.
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 Player options: Akash Singh, M Siddarth, Rajvardhan Hangargekar, Aryan Juyal, Abdul Samad

The pitch at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium will be a flat deck. It’s a bowler's graveyard with virtually no movement or grip on offer. The ball will come at a nice height and pace for the batters to just smash through the line. Plus, the short boundaries here will mean plenty of fours and sixes throughout.
The weather in Hyderabad will be warm and humid, but there is no forecast of rain, so we will get a full game.

High TurnIn the first IPL 2025 match played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium Sunrisers Hyderabad blasted 286-6 after batting first against Rajasthan Royals, who themselves scored 242-6 in the chase. This shows this will be another high-scoring game. If SRH bat first here, they will be targeting another 250+ score – even 300 is on the cards with their batting! If Lucknow bat first, they will be eyeing a score of around 2220-230 here.
The total 4's hit in the last game played at Hyderabad is 55, where on a good batting track and a fast outfield boundaries are easy to come by. Both bowling lineups are struggling to find their rhytm which gives their batting lineups an opportunity to feast on the bowlers.
We back the home team, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to win the coin toss in match 7 of IPL 2025.
The last match played in Hyderabad recorded a total score of 528. Matches at this venue have consistently been high-scoring, with conditions favouring the batters. Given that both LSG and SRH batters are in good form, we predict another high-scoring game in today's match, with the total score expected to be over 412 runs.
Win the toss and bat first should be the way to go in the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad. As we saw in the first match here, it is a great batting track and teams batting first can post huge scores to kill the game there itself.
Sunrisers Hyderabad are looking like the team to beat this time. The addition of Ishan Kishan has made their already strong batting unit even more dangerous. They will be looking to bulldoze opponents with their power-packed batting performances, especially in their home venue. Lucknow Super Giants did a lot better than was expected of them in the previous game. Their batting is still pretty decent. However, the lack of experience in their bowling unit makes them vulnerable and SRH’s dangerous batting will certainly cash in. Unless Lucknow’s bowlers produce a special performance, SRH look set to dominate this contest.
Sunrisers Hyderabad are favorites to win this clash.
