The drama of IPL 2026 shifts to Hyderabad as the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) prepare to host the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in Match 10 at the iconic Rajiv
Gandhi International Stadium on Sunday, April 5.
This encounter promises fireworks. SRH, led by Ishan Kishan, are eager to make a massive statement at home after bouncing back impressively with a commanding 64-run win over KKR.
Conversely, the Lucknow Super Giants arrive looking to regain their footing following a heavy opening defeat at the hands of the Delhi Capitals.
In the current IPL season, afternoon fixtures in Hyderabad are expected to be absolute run-fests, with projected scores hovering between 185-210 runs. However, unlike venues where setting a target is heavily preferred, the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium overwhelmingly favors teams chasing. Teams that win the toss will likely elect to bowl first to capitalize on the dry surface early on and navigate the hot afternoon conditions.
