Sunrisers spinners and top-order batsmen struggled as they fell short against RR in their run chase. Meanwhile, after failing to defend a total in their opening encounter of the IPL season, the Super Giants pulled off a massive run chase.
For both teams, this will be their debut match at the Dr. DY Patil Stadium. So far, LSG has played two matches in Mumbai, at Wankhede and Brabourne. The MCA Stadium in Pune has hosted SRH’s single match thus far this season.

Pitch Report:
The revamped pitches in the Tata IPL 2022 are giving both batsmen and bowlers equal opportunities to flourish. The bowlers have had a lot of help at DY Patil Stadium, and both of the IPL 2022 matches played here have been low-scoring affairs. The average total for the first innings is 157, while the average total for the second innings is 147. Dew will play a big influence once again, as the team who wins the toss will choose to bowl first.
IPL Player Availability: LSGvsSRH
When it comes to player availability, SRH is one of the luckier teams, as all of their first-choice players are available from the start. In truth, SRH fielded a full-strength side in their match against Rajasthan Royals. Despite the absence of Sean Abbott, who is now playing in the white ball series in Pakistan, and Glenn Phillips, who has recently joined the team, they are nowhere near their first-choice playing 11 and this should not be a concern for them.
SRH chose Kane Williamson to open the innings, which is a smart option given the amount of swing available to new-ball bowlers. To survive the first few overs, proper technique is required, and no one is better qualified to do so than Kane Williamson. However, they sent Nicholas Pooran ahead of Aiden Markram to face Trent Boult and Prasidh Krishna, who were on fire, and SRH lost three wickets in the powerplay in no time. Aiden Markram is a stronger bet than Nicholas Pooran despite not being a fantastic moving ball player.
Conclusion
The early favourites are the Lucknow Super Giants, who have been reinforced by the arrival of all-rounder Jason Holder, who may return to torment his former team, and the Sunrisers Hyderabad, who will be low in confidence. Williamson’s team, on the other hand, may profit by batting first
and setting a challenging target. However, having set a lofty goal for themselves in order to win their first IPL title, they have fallen short. Rahul’s team is in the lead after this match, and they will be trying to keep their winning streak going.
