Sunrisers Hyderabad Preview: Batters put Royals to sword
Sunrisers Hyderabad began this year’s IPL on fire as they racked up the second highest score in IPL history against Rajasthan Royals. On their home ground, SRH accumulated 286/6 with Ishan Kishan leading the charge, scoring a fabulous unbeaten 106 off just 47 balls. He was supported by Travis Head, who registered 67 along with cameos from both Nitish Rana and Heinrich Klaasen. That score set SRH on their way to a 44-run win.
Lucknow Super Giants Preview: Wrong end of thriller
Lucknow Super Giants ended up losing by just one wicket against Delhi Capitals as their bowling fears were realised. Many expected Lucknow to struggle preventing runs from their opponents when taking into account the injuries which have decimated their first-choice bowling unit. They allowed Delhi to chase down 210 despite reducing them to 7/3 at one stage.
Sunrisers Hyderabad Betting Analysis
After such an incredible knock last time out, bettors should look at investing in Ishan Kishan, who is looking like he could be a star of this year’s IPL. Batting at number three for SRH, Kishan’s aggression and all-round quality play may well see him take this Lucknow bowling attack down. With that in mind, consider backing him to record a match fifty.
Lucknow Super Giants Betting Analysis
Investment in Lucknow’s batting is the smart move when considering their bowling troubles, Specifically Australian Mitchell Marsh, who is operating as a batter only for the Super Giants and opened against Delhi, scoring 72 from 36 balls. With him fully focused on what he can do with the willow during the powerplay, explore backing Marsh to smash over 0.5 match sixes.
Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow Super Giants Expert Prediction
Assuming the pitch at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is just as flat as we saw in the SRH vs Rajasthan contest, the hosts will be licking their lips at the prospect of getting stuck into Lucknow’s second-string bowling attack. Failing to defend a score of over 200 runs against Delhi despite taking so many early wickets was a clear indication as to the struggles the Super Giants will face this season.
Confidence must be extremely high among the SRH camp and it’s hard not to see their batters being afforded plenty of success once again here. Expect another high-scoring encounter and another home victory for Pat Cummins’ side.
