Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants are scheduled to play a cricket match in Lucknow today. Hyderabad has lost one game and Lucknow has won one and lost one. Hyderabad’s team is expected to be stronger with the return of Markram. After winning the toss, Markram decided to bat first on a dry pitch that may favor spinners, resulting in lower scores.
Mark Wood injured
Lucknow will be playing without two of their match winners Avesh Khan and Mark Wood. Wood has been the most impressive pacer for the Lucknow team. This is a big blow for the team as Wood was the wicket-taker for the franchise.
Wood is a key member of the Lucknow franchise going forward. He has added a sting to the bowling lineup and can take wickets in the middle overs. With him and Avesh Khan ruled out of this match, KL Rahul will back the veteran Amit Mishra and Ravi Bishnoi to take wickets in the middle overs.
In their last game against Chennai Super Kings, Lucknow Super Giants elected to bowl first but made several mistakes that cost them the game. Although they had a strong start and performed better than Chennai Super Kings during the power play, adding Moeen Ali to the lineup proved to be a turning point. Ali’s excellent bowling, alongside Mitch Santner, led to the collapse of the Super Giants’ batting order, including key players like Stoinis, Mayers, and KL Rahul.
