SRH vs Pant Team: High-scoring match expected, know the possible playing XI of both the teams

New Delhi.The excitement of IPL 2026 is at its peak and the match to be held at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Sunday is going to be very interesting. Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will face each other in this match. If we look at the current form, Hyderabad team seems to have the upper hand, whereas for Lucknow this match is no less than a litmus test.

SRH’s batting became the biggest strength

In the last match, Sunrisers Hyderabad had scored a huge score of 226 runs and defeated Kolkata Knight Riders by 65 runs. This victory has boosted the team’s confidence to the seventh sky. The opening pair Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma have the ability to change the course of the match in the powerplay itself. Captain Ishan Kishan is playing aggressively, while Heinrich Klaasen remains the backbone of the middle order.

SRH more dangerous with all-round balance

All-rounders like Nitish Kumar Reddy are strengthening the team. In bowling, Jaydev Unadkat and Eshan Malinga are in great form, who can create problems for the opposition batsmen.

LSG’s batting becomes a concern

On the other hand, the biggest problem for Lucknow Super Giants is their batting. In the last match against Delhi Capitals, the team was restricted to just 141 runs. The experiment of sending captain Rishabh Pant in the opening failed. Now he may have to make a comeback in the middle order. The opening pair of Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram can prove to be important for the team, while a big innings will be expected from Nicholas Pooran.

In bowling, Mohammed Shami and Prince Yadav have performed well in the powerplay, but the team has failed to create pressure in the middle overs.
