Both the SRH and LSG teams have lost their most recent games, and both are on 12 points. The last three league games have been played at home, where the home team’s hitters have propelled them to three straight victories. With 41 sixes this season compared to LSG’s 20 and a run rate of 11.04 against LSG’s 8.48, SRH has amassed the most powerplay runs. They have struck the most sixes—36—in the last overs, while LSG has hit the fewest—16—in that segment.
As LSG plays its last three league games on the road in potentially high-scoring locations—Hyderabad, Delhi, and Mumbai—their hitters will need to step up. SRH’s run-scoring performance has been lacking lately, however, with Travis Head scoring consistently while Abhishek Sharma’s performance has declined, scoring 15, 12, and 11 in their previous three games. SRH also had trouble with their No. 3 spot, trying with six different players with varying degrees of success.
Pat Cummins, the captain of SRH, will face Justin Langer, the coach of LSG, who left the Australian squad amicably at the beginning of 2022. Langer resigned as head coach after a rumoured deterioration in his connection with the Australian senior players, having turned down a short-term contract extension.
At the moment, the Delhi Capitals, Chennai Super Kings, SRH, and LSG are the four clubs with 12 points. The victor of Wednesday’s game will go up to third place, while the loser will stay outside the top four. Their chances of making the playoffs will be severely harmed if their net run rate continues to decline.
Nicholas Pooran and T Natarajan are highlighted. T Natarajan, who has taken 15 wickets in nine games this season, striking every 14 balls, is a strong candidate for the Purple Cap. This season, he has excelled in death bowling, taking nine wickets in the phase, second only to Jasprit Bumrah. Given that he has faced 24 balls from Natarajan in the IPL, scored 42 runs at a strike rate of 175.0, and never been out of the game, Nicholas Pooran might be LSG’s response to the Natarajan menace.

Sanvir Singh was substituted for Umran Malik, who was supposed to be the impact player for SRH in their last match, because of a collapse. Perhaps T Natarajan or Umran will take up the position again, perhaps in place of Abhishek Sharma or Mayank Agarwal. It was a disappointing encounter for Marco Jansen in Mumbai, and Glenn Phillips could play his first game of the season later.
Most likely XII 1 Travis Head, 2 Mayank Agarwal, 3 Abhishek Sharma, 4 Nitish Kumar Reddy, 5 Heinrich Klaasen (wk), 6 Glenn Phillips/Marco Jansen, 7 Abdul Samad, 8 Shahbaz Ahmed, 9 Umran Malik/Jaydev Unadkat, 10 Pat Cummins (captain), 11 T Natarajan, and 12 Bhuvneshwar Kumar
Lucknow Super Giants
Concussion substitution Mohsin Khan has been substituted for after he suffered a concussion during LSG’s last game. While Arshin Kulkarni has been LSG’s main man in their past two games but hasn’t had a standout innings, he has flown to Hyderabad.
Most likely XII Ayush Badoni, Krunal Pandya, Deepak Hooda, Nicholas Pooran, Ashton Turner, 6 Ashton Turner, 7 Ayush Badoni, 8 Marcus Stoinis, 1 KL Rahul, 2 Arshin Kulkarni, 3 9 Yash Thakur, 10 Naveen-Ul-Haq, 11 Mohsin Khan, and 12 Ravi Bishnoi
T Natarajan and Nicholas Pooran in the limelight
T Natarajan might win the Purple Cap after taking 15 wickets in nine matches. He is ranked second after Jasprit Bumrah because to his excellent death bowling and strike rate. A left-hander with 42 runs at a 175.0 strike rate, Nicholas Pooran, may be Natarajan’s counterbalance.
