LSG vs SRH Highlights, IPL 2025

Lucknow Super Giants were eliminated from the IPL 2025 playoffs race after losing to Sunrisers Hyderabad by six wickets in Lucknow on Monday. SRH bowled out LSG for 205/7 after putting them into bat, with half-centuries from Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh. However, a swashbuckling 18-ball fifty along with healthy contributions by Heinrich Klaasen, Ishan Kishan and Kamindu Mendis helped SRH win with 10 balls to spare. It draws the curtain on a disapponting campaign for LSG captain Rishabh Pant, who became the most expensive player in IPL history when he was bought for Rs 27 crore in the auction.

IPL 2025, Match 62: Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals Preview

Match Preview Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals

CSK will play against RR in the 62nd game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Both teams are already eliminated from the IPL 2025 Playoffs race, and with two more matches left for both teams, all they have is to play for pride.

Chennai Super Kings has a forgettable tournament for them so far. The team backed experience as always, but this time the experience backfired as almost all their new batters were out of form, and the ones who played weren’t able to adapt to the newer demands of T20 cricket and that’s having an intent to score. However, as a silver lining, CSK’s bowlers did pretty well with the likes of Khaleel and Noor among wickets.

On the other hand, Rajasthan Royals just couldn’t find a good support from their bowlers. Their batting was good, but luck wasn’t by their side as they lost a few close encounters. But bowling was disappointing as not a single bowler stood out with his performance. Jofra Archer and Sandeep Sharma were good, but only in parts. Whereas others like Tushar Dehspande, Maheesh Theekshana, and Wanindu Hasaranga have been disappointing.

Pitch Report

The surface at Arun Jaitley Stadium typically is batting-friendly, especially during the early overs when the ball comes onto the bat nicely, favoring aggressive stroke play. As the match progresses, the surface tends to slow down, assisting spinners and making it challenging for batters to maintain momentum.

Weather Report

The weather forecast is expected to be warm and sunny. There are no chances of rain during the game. The temperature is likely to be around 41°C with 43% humidity.

CSK vs RR Predicted Playing XIs

Chennai Super Kings (CSK):

Ayush Mhatre, Urvil Patel, Devon Conway, Ravindra Jadeja, Dewald Brevis, MS Dhoni (c & wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Anshul Kamboj, Noor Ahmad, Khaleel Ahmed, Matheesha Pathirana.

Impact Player: Shivam Dube.

Rajasthan Royals (RR):

Yashasvi Jaiswal, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Sanju Samson (c & wk), Riyan Parag, Shimron Hetmyer, Dhruv Jurel, Wanindu Hasaranga, Kwena Maphaka, Tushar Deshpande, Akash Madhwal, Fazalhaq Farooqi.

Impact Player: Shubham Dubey.

Head-to-Head Record

CSK and RR have played 30 matches against each other so far, with the former winning 16 and the latter 14, making it an intriguing contest between the two sides.

Won by Chennai Super Kings	16
Won by Rajasthan Royals	14
No Result	00
First Played	May 4, 2022 – RR won
Last Played	May 12, 2025 – CSK won

Chennai Super Kings vs Rajasthan Royals Prediction

Chennai Super Kings, with their experienced lineup and tactical acumen, are likely to have a slight edge over Rajasthan Royals, who have shown inconsistency this season. However, RR’s potential to turn the game around, especially if their key players find form, could make this match unpredictable.

Bowling : Relies on late swing , accurate yorkers , and reverse swing in death overs.

Match Overview

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) lock horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the upcoming Match No. 61 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, at the BRSABV Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Monday, May 19.

With three games remaining, LSG are in a must-win situation as they hold the seventh position on the points table with 10 points from 11 games. Their playoff hopes are tough, and another loss would officially knock them out of contention. The Rishabh Pant-led side lost four of their last five matches and are lacking momentum and confidence. However, a repose can just work wonders for the side, as they have gotten time to re-think their strategies.

Furthermore, star pacer Mayank Yadav has been ruled out due to injury and replaced by New Zealand’s Will O’Rourke. LSG’s best-case scenario is winning all three remaining fixtures, against SRH, GT, and RCB, to reach 16 points. However, their poor net run-rate (NRR) of -0.469 means they’ll need favourable results from other teams as well.

For SRH, already eliminated with just three wins in 11 games, are playing for their pride and can play to spoil the party of other teams. The Orange Army would hope to dent LSG’s playoff chances, especially after losing to them earlier this season. Notably, all overseas players are available for selection.

LSG vs SRH Pitch Report

This season, the Ekana Stadium’s surface has changed from being a low-scoring pitch to a high-scoring track. 181 runs have been the most successful chase. Consequently, on the pitch, a score higher than 190 will be competitive.
