Match Overview:
LSG vs SRH: The Indian Premier League 2025’s Match No. 61 between the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) is scheduled on Monday, May 19, at the BRSABV Ekana Stadium in Lucknow.
LSG is in a must-win situation with three games left because they are now in seventh place on the points table with 10 points from 11 games. Their chances of making the playoffs are low, and they would be officially eliminated from the race with another loss. The Rishabh Pant-led team is missing confidence and momentum after losing four of their previous five games. The side, however, can benefit greatly from a break since it gives them time to reconsider their strategy.
Additionally, New Zealand’s Will O’Rourke has taken Mayank Yadav’s position after the great pacer was sidelined by injury. In order to get 16 points, LSG’s best chance is to win their final three games against SRH, GT, and RCB. But with their dismal net run-rate (NRR) of -0.469, they will also require positive outcomes from other clubs.
Since SRH has only won three of their last eleven games, they are fighting for pride and have the ability to ruin other teams’ celebrations. Given their earlier season loss to LSG, the Orange Army would like to hurt their prospects of making the playoffs. It’s noteworthy that all foreign players can be chosen.

BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium Pitch Report:
This season, Lucknow’s Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium has shown to be a challenging field. Big hitting is difficult because of the ground’s vast size. Considering that dew will enter during the second innings, teams should aim for 180–190 to gain an advantage, even though the average first-inning score is only 167.
In most of the games played here this season, bowlers who stay within their lines have benefited from the slow, low-bouncing surface. In 19 IPL games, chasing teams have won ten times. Taking the pattern into account, the team that wins the toss will choose to bowl first.
