Sunrisers Hyderabad
Lucknow Super Giants
Sunrisers Hyderabad will face Lucknow Super Giants in the 10th match of IPL 2026 at Uppal Stadium, Hyderabad. SRH will enter this match after a strong batting display in their first game, where they scored over 200 despite losing.
Their top order will be their strength and set the tempo early. LSG will come into this match after a loss against DC, where their batting unit failed to deliver and struggled to build partnerships.
The result will depend heavily on batting performance. SRHβs top order looks more settled and confident based on current player form. LSG will need a better start to stay competitive in this contest.
In the last 5 head-to-head matches, LSG have won 3 times while SRH have won twice. All 5 matches were won by the chasing team, which will make the toss important in this game.
Ishan Kishan is in strong form and will face an LSG bowling attack that struggled in the first match, which increases his chances of scoring runs in home conditions.
The betting tip is...
Ishan Kishan - Over 25.5 runs

Sunrisers HyderabadLucknow Super GiantsSunrisers Hyderabad had a strong and aggressive top order with Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, and Ishan Kishan. However, Abhishek and Head failed to convert their starts in the first match. Ishan Kishan held the innings together with a quick 80 off 38 balls, hitting 8 fours and 5 sixes at a strike rate of 210.
Heinrich Klaasen contributed 31 off 22 balls, while Aniket Verma added 43 off just 18 balls. Most of the top order wickets fell against right-arm pacers.
The bowling unit struggled to control the game. David Payne picked up 2 wickets for 35 runs in 3 overs. Jaydev Unadkat and Harsh Dubey took one wicket each. The rest of the bowling attack conceded runs at a high rate and failed to create consistent pressure.
Abhishek, Head and Kishan are the key batters.
Predicted Lineup: Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Ishan Kishan (c, wk), Heinrich Klaasen, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Aniket Verma, Salil Arora, Harsh Dubey, Eshan Malinga, Harshal Patel, Jaydev Unadkat, David Payne (Impact)
Lucknow Super Giants had a disappointing IPL 2025 season and finished 7th despite having a strong squad led by Rishabh Pant. Mitchell Marsh was their top run scorer with 627 runs as an opener. Nicholas Pooran scored 524 runs and hit 40 sixes, while Marsh added 37 sixes.
In the first match, Marsh opened with Pant, but the move did not work as Pant scored 7 off 9 and Marsh made 35 off 28. Aiden Markram scored 11 off 8 at number three. Pooran batted at number five and got out in the single digits. Abdul Samad scored 36 off 25 in the lower middle order.
The bowling unit lacked impact. Digvesh Rathi, who took 14 wickets last season, did not play. Mohammed Shami and Mohsin Khan took one wicket each, while Prince Yadav picked up two wickets. Shami and Anrich Nortje strengthened the pace attack.
Marsh, Markram and Pooran are the key batters.
Predicted Lineup: Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, Rishabh Pant (c, wk), Nicholas Pooran, Ayush Badoni, Abdul Samad, Shahbaz Ahmed, Mukul Choudhary, Mohammed Shami, Anrich Nortje, Digvesh Rathi, Avesh Khan (Impact)
Sunrisers Hyderabad will have a clear edge in this match based on the current batting lineup. Their top order looks more settled, and they will benefit from playing at home. Ishan Kishan showed strong intent in the last match and handled responsibility well with an 80-run knock.
His recent form since the T20 World Cup has been consistent, and he will look comfortable again against an inconsistent LSG bowling attack.
Lucknow Super Giants will face pressure if they continue with the same batting order. Rishabh Pant's opening did not work, and their middle order also struggled. SRHβs batting depth and current momentum will likely make the difference in this contest.
