LSG vs SRH Dream11 Prediction Today | Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report – IPL 2025, 61st Match

Match Preview

The Sunrisers Hyderabad are already out of the race for the playoffs. While they managed to retain most of the players who took them to the finals last season, they haven’t been able to perform with the same level of intensity and aggression this year, and that has weighed down on the team.

On the other side are the Lucknow Super Giants, who are hanging by the slimmest of margins. They need to win each of their upcoming matches, including this one, if they want to keep their qualification hopes alive.

Injuries & Illnesses

Confirmation regarding the availability of some overseas players is being awaited.

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

The Ekana Stadium is likely to present a balanced surface that will offer something for both the batsmen and the bowlers. The new ball will swing a bit, and the bowlers who hit the deck are likely to get some movement off the seam as well. The batsmen need to treat the ball on its merits and will have to time the ball well. The surface does get better to play the shots as the match goes on, but the spinners are likely to get some turn during the second half.

There is no forecast for rain, and the weather is likely to be warm and slightly humid.

LSG vs SRH Dream11 Top Picks

Wicketkeeper

There are two quality wicket-keepers available for selection in this match, and we are choosing both for our team. Heinrich Klaasen and Nicholas Pooran have both played well, and we are backing them to continue scoring the big shots.

Batters

With Travis Head likely to be unavailable for this match, we are going with Mitchell Marsh, Ayush Badoni, and Aniket Verma here.

All Rounders

Abhishek Sharma and Aiden Markram are no-brainers in this category. We are also selecting Kamindu Mendis, as he has shown sparks of brilliance in his limited time in this tournament.

Bowlers

As all three all-rounders we have picked up are slower bowlers, we have selected Pat Cummins and Harshal Patel to lead our new-ball attack. We are also opting for Digvesh Rathi as he has been consistent throughout the season.

LSG vs SRH Captain and Vice-Captain Choices

Captain

We are selecting Nicholas Pooran as the captain of our team. While he hasn’t been in the best of form of late, Pooran remains one of the top run-scorers of the tournament, and given his ability to play the big shots, he can earn plenty of points in this match.

Vice-Captain

Abhishek Sharma is the vice-captain of our team. He is the leading run-scorer for the Sunrisers this season and has been pretty consistent at the top of the order. He has a good record against Lucknow and could play a big knock here.
