IPL 2025 - SRH vs LSG - Player Battles to Watch Out

The 18th season of the Indian Premier League is in action right now. We have reached the 7th fixture of the league that will take place between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants. The fixture is scheduled to take place on Thursday at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.

The SRH vs LSG fixture is important for both sides for multiple reasons. Sunrisers Hyderabad started their campaign with a dominating batting performance against Rajasthan Royals in the previous game. They would like to maintain their dominance and continue the winning momentum.

Lucknow Super Giants didn't have a desired start to the campaign of IPL 2025. They were involved in a close encounter with Delhi Capitals in the previous game, and in a last-ball thriller, Lucknow ended up losing the match. Lucknow Super Giants would like to change things and get back on the right track against Hyderabad.

The last time these two teams met was in the previous edition of the league. It was an absolute disaster for Lucknow Super Giants as their bowlers failed to even pick a single wicket. Sunrisers Hyderabad chased the score easily at a slow pace and scored a win.

In this article, we have collected a list of player rivalries and battles that will make things interesting in the match. While placing your bets on the IPL betting websites in India, one must take these player battles into .

SRH vs LSG - Player Battles

1) Mitchell Marsh vs Mohammed Shami

For Lucknow Super Giants, Mitchell Marsh will be part of the top order, and hence, he will be coming face to face with Mohammed Shami. India’s top pacer scalped a single wicket against Rajasthan Royals in the first game at an economy of 11. Shami was seen playing after a year of absence because of his knee injury, and hence, he is expected to gain momentum at a later stage of the league. Mitchell Marsh was the right choice for the top order for Lucknow, as he scored 72 off 36 balls at a strike rate of 200. When it comes to the T20 format, Mohammed Shami has dismissed Mitchell Marsh once in the past.
 

2) Nicholas Pooran vs Pat Cummins

What happens when two of the T20 mega stars come face to face against each other? We will get the answer on Thursday as Nicholas Pooran and Pat Cummins will battle out in the early hours of the SRH vs LSG fixture. Nicholas Pooran was the leading scorer in the first fixture of Lucknow Super Giants at number 3, with 75 off 30 balls at a strike rate of 250. He is a T20 expert batter and will be the target of Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Pat Cummins. Pat Cummins was costly at an economy of 15 against the Rajasthan Royals in the first game, and he also failed to scalp a single wicket. He will be looking forward to getting back on the right track against Lucknow on Thursday.

3) Travis Head vs Ravi Bishnoi

Lucknow Super Giants don’t have a reliable pacer in their squad, and hence, the team is mostly dependent on Ravi Bishnoi’s spin talent. He is expected to come early into the attack and will be facing Travis Head. Head is a master of the T20 batting style, and in the first fixture, he scored 67 off 31 balls at a strike rate of 216.3. Travis Head has sometimes struggled to play leg spinners in the past and hence, the match up between Bishnoi vs Head will be a real deal on Thursday.
