IPL 2025, Match - 7 | SRH vs LSG | Fantasy Tips, Prediction & Preview

Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will play against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the seventh game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The Sunrisers have started their campaign with a bang and are looking like one of the most dangerous sides in the tournament. The injury-riddled Lucknow, meanwhile, lost an agonizingly close game to Delhi Capitals.

Sunrisers Hyderabad began their IPL 2025 campaign with a comprehensive 44-run win over Rajasthan Royals. On a flat road of a wicket, SRH blasted 286-6 in their 20 overs – the second-highest IPL team total ever – courtesy of spectacular performances by  Ishan Kishan and Travis Head. This will be the template for this power-packed SRH side throughout this season – they will blow away their opponents with massive scores. And they have the tools to pull this off as well with the dangerous Abhishek Sharma and Head at the top, followed by the equally destructive Ishan Kishan and Heinrich Klaasen in the middle. SRH’s bowling is better than last year with Mohammed Shami and Simarjeet Singh expected to open the attack. 

On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants suffered a heartbreaking loss in their opening IPL 2025 encounter to Delhi Capitals. Batting first at Visakhapatnam, they put on a healthy 209-8 with sparkling fifties from Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran. They had Delhi reeling at 65-5 at one stage and were looking all set for victory before Ashutosh Sharma stole the game away from them to clinch a 1-wicket victory for the Capitals. LSG’s bowling unit is their weak link. With most of their main pace bowlers missing due to injury, they had to depend on their second line of attack to do the job. LSG will bank on leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi to pick up some crucial wickets in the middle overs to set Hyderabad back.

Pitch Report

The surface at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium may seem to favor spin, but in white-ball formats, especially T20s, it becomes a paradise for batters. The surface is smooth and hard, providing great speed and bounce. While pace bowlers might get some early assistance, it tends to fade once the power play ends.

Weather Report

The weather forecast is expected to be hot with clear skies. There are no chances of rain during the game. The temperature is likely to be around 35°C  with 30% humidity.

Prediction

Sunrisers Hyderabad are looking like the team to beat this time. The addition of Ishan Kishan has made their already strong batting unit even more dangerous. Meanwhile, Lucknow Super Giants did a lot better than was expected of them in the previous game. Their batting is still pretty decent. However, the lack of experience in their bowling unit makes them vulnerable. Hence, SRH are favorites to win this contest.
