Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will face Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in IPL 2025 Match 61 on Monday in Ekana. LSG has 10 points from 11 matches and is in seventh place. Their playoff hopes remain alive, but only by a thread- one more loss and it's all over. The Sunrisers, meanwhile, have been out of the running and will look to finish their season on a high note with a couple of strong performances.

The pitch at the Ekana Cricket Stadium will not be spectacular, but it will be suitable for batting, as are most Indian surfaces. However, Ekana tends to slow down in the middle overs, bringing the spinners into the equation.
The weather in Lucknow is expected to be warm and humid, but there is no chance of rain, so we will play a full match.

When the Lucknow Super Giants faced Sunrisers Hyderabad earlier this season, they had an easy time. However, LSG's form has been inconsistent since then. Their batting is primarily dependent on Marsh, Markram, and Pooran. If those three don't work together, things tend to fall apart. SRH has its own set of issues. They are dangerous when their openers strike, but they struggle on weaker pitches. Their batting typically falls flat when the ball grips, which is likely at Ekana. Lucknow should perform better on this surface, making them a more reliable choice. Considering the team combination, Lucknow Super Giants is expected to win this match.
