Pat Cummins바카라™ Sunrisers Hyderabad are out of playoff contention with just seven points from 11 games and will be playing for pride. Their spin attack has struggled, managing only 10 wickets, the fewest by any team this season.
Lucknow Super Giants, meanwhile, are in a must-win situation as they battle Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals for the final playoff spot.
Pat Cummins has led from the front with 13 wickets in 11 games this season, but he faces a tough challenge in Nicholas Pooran. The LSG batter has been in red-hot form, smashing 410 runs at a strike rate of 200.98. In their previous IPL matchups, Pooran has dominated Cummins, scoring 34 off 16 balls and losing his wicket just once. This contest could tilt the balance either way.
Heinrich Klaasen, who thrives against leg-spin with a T20 strike rate of 173.69, will take on LSG바카라™s leg-spinner Digvesh Singh Rathi. Rathi has been effective this season, picking up 12 wickets at an average of 29.67. This clash between Klaasen바카라™s attacking flair and Rathi바카라™s bowling prowess will be one to watch.
LSG바카라™s spinner Ravi Bishnoi has been a consistent threat to Ishan Kishan, who made a stunning debut century for SRH but has struggled since. Bishnoi has dismissed Kishan four times in just seven T20 innings, keeping the southpaw under pressure.
Kishan바카라™s form has dipped significantly, averaging only 8.25 with a strike rate of 91.66, scoring 33 runs off 36 balls against Bishnoi바카라™s bowling. This matchup will be crucial as Bishnoi looks to maintain his dominance.
