LSG vs SRH head-to-head IPL record: Stats, total matches and history

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will lock horns against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the 58th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. In the last face-off between the two teams, LSG managed to win the low-scoring encounter by five wickets.

Both teams are somewhat in a must-win situation with LSG having 11 points from as many matches with five wins to their name. On the other hand, SRH have played 10 matches and won only four which has left them to win all their four matches in order to make it to the playoffs.

SRH are coming into this game with a lot of confidence having chased down a mammoth target of 215 runs against Rajasthan Royals in the last-ball thriller. Abdul Samad was their hero who got lucky with the no-ball on the last ball and then smashed a six when four runs were needed. Glenn Phillips was also the star with the bat scoring 25 runs off just 7 balls.

Meanwhile, Lucknow Super Giants have lost their way a bit ever since their skipper KL Rahul has got injured and subsequently ruled out. They have lost two out of their last three matches with other game ending in No result. They lost to Gujarat Titans by a whopping margin of 56 runs in their previous encounter.

This game is extremely crucial for both teams and a loss could prove hugely detrimental to their chances of making it to the playoffs.

The only match between the two teams last year went right down to the wire. With 16 runs to defend in the last over, Jason Holder gave away only three runs and took the Super Giants home.

Here is a look at how the match unfolded:

Game No.1 – LSG beat SRH by 12 runs

After being put in to bat first, the Super Giants put up a decent score of 169 for the loss of seven wickets in 20 overs. LSG found themselves in all sorts of trouble after being reduced to 27 for three in 4.5 overs.

However, KL Rahul and Deepak Hooda put on 87 runs for the fourth wicket to bring their team right back into the game. Hooda was the more attacking batter as he scored 51 runs off 33 balls with three fours and three sixes.

Rahul, on the other hand, played until the penultimate over to score 68 off 50 balls with six fours and one six. Ayush Badoni’s cameo of 19 off 12 took the Super Giants past the 160-run mark. Quinton de Kock and Evin Lewis failed to get into double digits.

Washington Sundar and Natarajan were equally effective as they picked up two wickets apiece and conceded 54 runs. Shepherd also racked up two wickets, but leaked runs at an economy rate of 10.50. Bhuvneshwar Kumar did not pick up a wicket but finished with impressive figures of 4-0-25-0.

At the half-way mark, the Sunrisers looked firm favorites to win with their score at 82 for two in 10 overs. Rahul Tripathi and Aiden Markram put on 44 runs for the third wicket to give their team the much-needed momentum.

But once both batters departed in a space of 12 balls, the SRH innings lost momentum. Krunal Pandya got the big wicket of Tripathi, who scored 44 runs off 30 balls with five fours and one six.

Nicholas Pooran churned out some lusty blows to score 34 runs off 24 balls with three fours and two sixes. But his dismissal in the 18th over turned out to be decisive in the context of the game. All of Abhishek Sharma, Kane Williamson, Markram and Washington Sundar got into double digits, but failed to carry on.

Avesh Khan was the pick of the bowlers for the Super Giants after he finished with figures of 4-0-24-4. Holder, who gave away only three runs in the last over, had figures of 4-0-34-3. Krunal Pandya was also hard to get away as he conceded runs at an economy rate of 6.75.
