Date & Time : 4th April 2022, 7:30 PM IST
Venue : Dr. DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai
SSunrisers Hyderabad is the only team this term in IPL which has played less games, only one so far whilst every other team in this IPL have at least played two. Nevertheless winning is of outmost importance.
SRH were bottom of the table last season and they wil have sad memories of it, so they can only go further up and must play positively.
With Williamson as captain at the helm, they have got an experienced leader, so should believe in him till the end.
Umran Malik promises to be a good young talent while although the bowlers leaked runs but most of them were amongst the wickets. The batting though needs to come good.
On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants have shown much needed calibre to survive on this level after outplaying defending champions CSK by chasing more than 210 runs.
They will though know that their bowlers will have to contain which they are lacking a bit which caused defeat in the first fixture. Batting is better.
Top order batters in KL Rahul, De Kock and Lewis were beautiful in the game against Chennai, so their success depends a lot on the start from the top. LSG have shown they belong here.
This will mark the first meeting between a UP based franchisee in IPL to play a team from down South in Hyderabad. A wonderful occasion for fans to cheer for.
In terms of the wicket, faster bowlers if bowl well will get help but as is the case in Mumbai, batsman do have advantages.
Team news and possible lineups
There are no fresh injury concerns for both sides at the moment.
LSG XI : KL Rahul (C), De Kock (WK), Lewis, M. Pandey, Hooda, Badoni, K. Pandya, Chameera, Tye, Bishnoi, A. Khan.

Prediction
