Here’s a breakdown of SRH vs LSG match-winning percentages based on their head-to-head record in the IPL:
With a commanding 75% win percentage, LSG have clearly had the upper hand in this fixture. However, with a revamped squad, SRH will be eager to turn the tide and challenge LSG more fiercely in the upcoming IPL season.
Interestingly, three out of the four matches between SRH and LSG have been won by the chasing team, further emphasizing the advantage of batting second. Only once has LSG successfully defended a total.
The numbers clearly indicate that chasing has been the preferred route to victory in this fixture. With flat pitches and high-scoring games, teams have found it easier to chase down targets.
As a relatively new rivalry, SRH and LSG have played at only three venues so far. However, with the IPL expanding its reach, fans can expect this fixture to be played at more iconic stadiums in the future.

LSG comfortably chased down 122, with Krunal Pandya starring with 3/18 and Prerak Mankad playing a key role with the bat.
SRH and LSG have faced each other once at a neutral venue – DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai – during the 2022 season, with LSG coming out on top.
Here’s a look at the recent five encounters between SRH and LSG. Both teams have only played four matches against each other in their history and LSG have won three of those matches.
2024 – Travis Head’s Explosive Knock
In their most recent clash, SRH dismantled LSG by 10 wickets in Hyderabad. Travis Head was the star of the match, scoring a blistering 89 off 30 balls*, ensuring a comfortable chase of 167.
2022 – KL Rahul’s Captain’s Knock
In their first-ever meeting, LSG captain KL Rahul showcased his class with a composed 68-run knock, guiding his team to a 12-run victory at DY Patil Stadium.
Nicholas Pooran – 137 runs
The aggressive LSG batter has been the most consistent performer in this fixture, with 137 runs, including several quick-fire knocks.
Krunal Pandya – 7 wickets
Krunal’s left-arm spin has caused trouble for SRH batters, making him the most successful bowler in this matchup.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad surprised everyone in TATA IPL 2024 by playing an exciting and ultra aggressive brand of cricket which saw them reach the finals of the tournament. However, in the final they lost to Kolkata Knight Riders in a one sided affair to ruin what would’ve been one of the most exciting stories in IPL.
Heading into the 2025 IPL season, SRH have maintained much of their same core from 2024 with the likes of Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head, Heinrich Klaasen, Nitish Kumar Reddy all returning under the leadership of Pat Cummins. To top it off they have also added Ishan Kishan to their top heavy lineup, so expect SRH to play with the same gusto as last season.
However, this year, they will be without stalwart bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar. SRH have addressed Bhuvi’s absence by roping in Mohammed Shami but given his fitness concerns there are question marks over SRH’s bowling.

The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) head into the IPL 2025 season with a formidable batting lineup but will undoubtedly miss the services of Marcus Stoinis, who was a key player for them in previous editions. However, the addition of Rishabh Pant, who has joined LSG as their captain, adds a new dimension to their squad.
Pant, known for his fearless stroke play and aggressive leadership style, will look to bring his explosive energy into the LSG setup. His presence alongside the hard-hitting Nicholas Pooran and seasoned campaigner David Miller gives LSG incredible depth and power in their middle order. Both Miller and Pooran are known for their ability to finish games in style, making the LSG batting unit one of the most dangerous in the tournament.
