Lucknow Super Giants vs Sunrisers Hyderabad – Match Predictions
Although Lucknow Super Giants were beaten by 12 runs by Chennai Super Kings on Monday, they had a strong 50-run victory over Delhi Capitals in Match 3. Sunrisers Hyderabad will have a stronger team available than in their heavy defeat to Rajasthan Royals but we are still backing the Super Giants to win.

Odds from
Probable 6s
In spite of a defeat on Monday against Chennai Super Kings, Lucknow Super Giants still hit nine sixes in a team total of 205-7 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium. And with Quinton de Kock poised to return to the team in this match, their explosive batting ability suddenly looks even stronger.
Our prediction: Lucknow Super Giants to hit most sixes in the match at 4/7 (1.57).
Probable Wickets
With eight wickets from his first two games in this year’s IPL, Mark Wood is the top bowler in the competition so far. He is on course to claim the Purple Cap (awarded to the player who takes the most wickets) and currently has a strike-rate of a wicket every six balls! He dismissed quality players, Devon Conway, Ravindra Jadeja and MS Dhoni on Monday.
Our prediction: Mark Wood to be Punjab Kings’ highest wicket-taker at 5/2 (3.50).
Man of the Match
It has been an exceptional start to the tournament for Kyle Mayers, the 30 year old left-handed batting all-rounder. The Barbados native has already clubbed 19 boundaries from his two innings of of 73 against Delhi Capitals and 53 against Chennai Super Kings. Also a useful bowler, Mayers is an excellent option for contributing across the game and picking up the Man of the Match Award.
Our prediction: Kyle Mayers to be the Man of the Match at 9/1 (10.00).
Lucknow Super Giants vs Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview
This will be only the second clash between the sides and it was Lucknow Super Giant who won by 12 runs when they met in Match 12 last year. Compared to their last matches, there should be an influx of South Africans in this game!
Lucknow Super Giants
The main issue for the Lucknow Super Giants management is finding a way to get Quinton de Kock into the team but not dropping the in-form Kyle Mayers. With scores of 12 and 21 so far, we expect Marcus Stoinis to make way for de Kock. Mark Wood has been injury free so far and will continue to lead the bowling attack.
Predicted XI: KL Rahul (c), Kyle Mayers, Quinton de Kock, Deepak Hooda, Krunal Pandya, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Ayush Badoni, Krishnappa Gowtham, Mark Wood, Yash Thakur, Ravi Bishnoi
Sunrisers Hyderabad
With skipper Aiden Markram now in India, alongside fellow country-men Heinrich Klaasen and Marco Jansen, we expect to see some changes in the Sunrisers’ XI from their defeat against Rajasthan Royals. With left-arm pacer Jansen in the team, Sunrisers have brilliant variety in their bowling attack and look far stronger than in Match 4.
Predicted XI: Abhishek Sharma, Mayank Agarwal, Aiden Markram (c), Rahul Tripathi, Harry Brook, Washington Sundar, Glenn Phillips (wk), Marco Jansen, Adil Rashid, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Umran Malik
