Sunrisers Hyderabad return to familiar conditions as they take on Lucknow Super Giants in the first game of Sunday’s double-header in Indian Premier League 2026. The match will be played at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium, with SRH riding high on confidence after a dominant start to their campaign.
SRH opened their season in style with a convincing 65-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders. A powerful batting performance saw them post a formidable 226, thanks to key contributions from Heinrich Klaasen, Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head. Their bowlers complemented the effort perfectly, dismissing KKR for 161 in under 16 overs. Jaydev Unadkat starred with three wickets, while Eshan Malinga and Nitish Kumar Reddy provided solid support.

LSG aim to bounce back
In contrast, LSG will be eager to recover after a disappointing defeat against Delhi Capitals. Despite playing at home, they struggled to build momentum and were bowled out for just 141. The target proved insufficient as Delhi chased it down comfortably, powered by an unbeaten 70 from Sameer Rizvi.
Led by Rishabh Pant, LSG will look for a stronger batting display from players like Nicholas Pooran and Mitchell Marsh. Meanwhile, SRH, under the leadership of Ishan Kishan, will aim to maintain their winning momentum.
