Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) will host the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the 57th game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024. The SRH vs LSG encounter will take place on May 08, 2024, at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, in Hyderabad.
The seven-wicket loss to the Mumbai Indians in their last game just a day ago made life a little harder for the Sunrisers, who remain at number four in the points table with six wins in 11 games, but at a damaged net run rate (NRR) of -0.065, going into the SRH vs LSG clash.
The ‘Orange Army’ had a narrow defeat towards the beginning of the tournament, where lost by only four runs against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). Even after their win against the Mumbai Indians in the second game, they slipped against Gujarat Titans (GT) by seven wickets.
They turned the table with a rollicking couple of weeks, where they recorded four successive wins. It felt like they would finish among the top two positions in this tournament. However, since then, they had only one victory in four games, and that too by a narrow one-run margin against the Rajasthan Royals.
Lucknow Super Giants are going into the SRH vs LSG face-off, after a humiliating defeat by 98 runs against the KKR side in their last game. Since their 20-run loss to the Royals in their opening game of the season, Lucknow successfully defended in three games.

They lost the track a little bit with two consecutive defeats from that point, before coming back strongly on the back of their two successive wins against the Chennai Super Kings. Another loss to the Royals by seven wickets, and a win to Mumbai Indians by four wickets kept their hope alive for the playoff spot.
In the SRH vs LSG affair, the winning team will go ahead, while the losing team will make their journey quite tough for the top-four finish.
