SRH vs LSG, DY Patil Stadium. Sunrisers Hyderabad continues their losing streak in the IPL. In the last 18 matches SRH played, they managed to win only 5 of them! That is shocking and obvious at the same time. For years, we have seen SRH depend only on a few players, specifically David Warner, Jonny Bairstow, and Rashid Khan. The team management did not nurture the local talent and did not provide them with enough opportunities. The batting order of SRH is still a mess, and the team management is repeating their mistakes by not using Indian players properly. SRH is wasting the form of Aiden Markram by not putting him as an opener. The same case with Rahul Tripathi. Both are natural openers, and SRH management makes them bat in the middle order.

On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants has a sorted batting order and a strong bowling attack. LSG is not dependent on foreign players like SRH, and LSG has in-form Indian players who perform well for them. As Jason Holder is out of quarantine, he should be making his way into the playing 11 by replacing Andrew Tye, which will give LSG a reliable death and opening bowling option. Krunal Pandya dismissed 3 of the SRH top-order batters five times, and he will be a crucial bowling option in the powerplay for LSG.
