SRH vs LSG Pitch Report: The 10th match of the IPL 2026 tournament will be played today between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants. This match is to be played at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad. LSG team is coming after losing its first match, on the other hand, Hyderabad had got a big win of 65 runs over Kolkata Knight Riders in the last match.
Everyone’s eyes will be on star players like Ishan Kishan, Rishabh Pant, Mohammed Shami, Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head. Both teams have strong batting line-ups, so it would not be surprising to see a high-scoring match in Hyderabad today. Know here today, with which playing eleven combination the teams of SRH and LSG can enter the field.
Hyderabad team’s regular captain Pat Cummins is suffering from a back injury. He has returned to Australia for tests and according to reports, will rejoin the Sunrisers Hyderabad team on April 17. Therefore Cummins will not play in the match against LSG today. Ishan Kishan will be captaining the team in his absence.
Lucknow had Mitchell Marsh and Rishabh Pant opening in the first match of IPL 2026, but this pair was a complete flop. It is possible that LSG may go with the opening combination of last season i.e. Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram.
