SRH's performance this season has been a mix of high and low moments. Led by Pat Cummins, their strategy will likely focus on exploiting the home conditions which generally favor batsmen. The top order, featuring Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma, needs to provide a strong start, while middle-order bats like Heinrich Klaasen need to ensure they keep the momentum going.

Bowlers such as Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jaydev Unadkat/Umran Malik will be crucial in containing LSG's strong batting lineup. The performance of their spinners, particularly Shahbaz Ahmed, could be a determining factor in the match's outcome.
