Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the 10th game of the IPL 2023 on Friday
The Lucknow Super Giants have won one out of two games so far and are in fifth place in the points table
Sunrisers lost their opening match against Rajasthan Royals, and failed to chase a whopping 203-run target
Kyle Mayers has scored two fifties for LSG against Delhi Capitals and Chennai Super Kings and at a solid strike rate. Against DC, the West Indies player scored 73 off just 38 balls. Against CSK, he scored 53 off 22 balls
Wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock was LSG’s second-highest run-scorer last year, scoring 447 runs in 15 games. Experts feel Captain K L Rahul can bring in de Kock in the top batting order to make most of his abilities
LSG pace bowler Mark Wood is currently the purple cap holder with 8 wickets in hand in just 2 matches thanks to his adaptability in bowling during both powerplay and death overs
Even though the former KKR batsman is yet to fire in IPL 2023 the way he's usually used to, he might come into his punishing elements against LSG
After losing their opener against the Royals, Sunrisers will be hoping that the overseas trio of Markram, Klaasen, Rashid, will help SRH register their first win in IPL 2023
Sunrisers’ bowling for a major part of the Royal’s innings was mediocre but T Natarajan and Fazalhaq Farooqi’s teasing spells at the death overs were commendable
Friday's match will be the second time when the two teams will face each other. LSG and SRH have locked horns only once in the 14th edition of the IPL, where LSG won the match by 12 runs
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will take on Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on their home ground of Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow
The match will start at 7:30 PM IST on Thursday and it will be telecast live on the Star Sports network. Online viewers can also tune into the action via the Jio Cinema app
