In today's match, SH is showing great batting performance. Compared to other matches, today's match is giving good game to the visitors. It is difficult to say how likely SH is to win today's match but if the fielding performance is good then there will be a chance to win. But it is difficult to say how well LSG will play in today's match. LSG is currently at the 5th position at the top of the points table with great performance in their game which they are ahead of. SH is far behind LSG at the top of the points table. SH are at 9th position in the points table, their points are very low so if they win today's match, they will have a good chance to move up.

The match between SRH and LSG is shaping out to be really interesting. LSG faces a significant challenge with a goal of 182 runs in 20 overs set by SRH. According to the most recent information LSG is now batting live and has amassed 54 runs in 8.2 overs while also losing two wickets. To win they now need to score 129 runs in the final 70 balls. Although it is still too early to predict the result of the match, it appears that LSG faces a challenging assignment. But anything can happen in cricket so we'll just have to wait and watch how the rest of the match plays out.

I don't think the pitch helped the batsmen much. 182 runs are enough to win if the bowlers are able to perform in a controlled manner. So far the performance of Hyderabad's bowlers has been quite good. LSG mustered only 89 runs in 13 overs. They have lost wickets in two matches. LSG needs 92 runs in 7 overs. It is not an easy task at all.
And I would say the match is completely under Hyderabad's control. If the bowlers are able to bowl a bit better then they will win. LSG must collect over 13.4 per over to win. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Natarajan are bowling well. Hyderabad will win only if the performance of these two bowlers, as well as other bowlers in the team, is good.

I think the match is still in control of LSG. Because they have just lost three wickets. At the end of 16 overs, they managed to collect 145 runs. Stoinis returned to the dressing room with 40 off 25 balls. The crease now has experienced batsmen like Prerak and Pooran. And interestingly, Nicholas Pooran hit 3 over boundaries in his first three balls. Now need 38 runs from 24 balls to win. Looks like LSG will win. Collecting 10 runs per over is not a difficult task for batsmen like Pooran and Prerak. If LSG wins this match, the LSG team will likely move to fourth place in the table.

My guess was wrong. In the end, LSG easily won the match. Although the Hyderabad bowlers performed well in the first 10-12 overs, their performance in the subsequent overs was not good. I found every bowler of Hyderabad helpless, especially against Nicholas Pooran. Nicholas Pooran played an unbeaten innings of 44 runs off just 13 balls. Also, Prerak Mankad and Marcus Stoinis had two very effective innings. Mankad was unbeaten on 64 and Stoinis collected 40 runs. With the win in this match, Lucknow is now fourth in the points table.

In the end Pooran played some aggressive shots that brought him and the team 44 runs out of 13 balls with the strike rate above 300. With the loss Sunrisers Hyderabad gets added along with Delhi Capitals that have lost the chance of moving to the playoff. Mayank and Abhishek Sharma turned expensive at the depth overs. 16^th over was the turning point from which the Lucknow Super Giants got the strong winning momentum. In the 16^th over 31 runs came with 5 sixes, one wide and the wicket of Stoinis.
