Match detailsHyderabad, 7.30pm IST (2pm GMT)
SRH, however, will take confidence from the fact that they play their remaining three league matches at home, where their batters have powered them to three wins in four games. In eight innings in Hyderabad this season, teams have scored 200 or more five times, and hit 92 sixes. That’s where SRH will hope to have the edge over LSG.Lucknow Super GiantsUmran Malik had marked his run-up and was all set to be SRH’s Impact Player in their previous game but they needed to bring in the batter Sanvir Singh during a first-innings collapse. It is likely that one of T Natarajan or Umran might play the Impact Player role again, swapping with Mayank Agarwal or Abhishek Sharma. Marco Jansen had a forgettable match in Mumbai and SRH could give Glenn Phillips his first game late in the season.
Abhishek is striking at 236 against spin this season. He has hit 17 sixes off them, joint highest with his team-mate Heinrich Klaasen.LSG assistant coach Sridharan Sriram isn’t worried about the lack of wickets from their spinners.
