LSG vs SRH Playing 11: Rishabh Pant-led Lucknow Super Giants will square off against Pat Cummins-led Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 61st match of the IPL 2025 on May 19 at the Ekana Cricket Stadium B Ground.

Lucknow is one of the contenders for the last spot in the playoffs, so they are set to win all their remaining games in the tournament. They have only five wins out of 11 games and stand in the 7th position of the IPL 2025 Points table.

On the other hand, Hyderabad were eliminated from the tournament with three wins out of 11 games and secured 8th position in the points table.

Sunrisers Hyderabad won the toss and opted to bowl. Speaking at the toss, Pat Cummins said, “I will have a bowl, you never know quite to make of the wicket so it’s better to chase. We haven’t played to our potential, so trying to hit our potential, we also had a few injuries.”

“The team has been great, they have been honest that they haven’t been at their best but we have a great bunch of guys. Travis Head misses out and also Unadkat misses out for personal reasons, Harsh Dubey and Taide come in,” concluded Pat Cummins.

On the other hand, Rishabh Pant said, “We don’t mind (batting first), we have got to do well. We are looking at one match at a time and not put undue pressure on ourselves. I feel as a team we have regrouped well and we are in a good space as a team. We have only one change, Will O’Rourke is making his debut.”
