Sunrisers Hyderabad

SRH lost their previous match to RR by 61 runs. To be honest, that lead was only reduced by a final swing from Washington Sundar, otherwise it could have been closer to 80-90 runs. That's a massive loss and shows the kind of problems that exist in the batting lineup.

Abhishek Sharma doesn't seem like the best option for opening the batting, but at least Kane Williamson is a reliable player. Even Rahul Tripathi is an excellent IPL player and one bad inning is not enough to make him resign. Then there's Nicholas Pooran. He's someone who has performed brilliantly at international level and seems to be the ideal IPL player, but his record just isn't good enough.

He started with another duck in the previous game and will be under some pressure. Aiden Markram, Abdul Samad and Romario Shepherd all offer serious depth on paper. Will that potential translate into performance or will it be another false start?

We also saw SRH struggle a lot with his bowling in the previous game. Natarajan made a lot of runs and the fifth bowler in charge shared between Washington Sundar and Abhishek Sharma also went for over 60 runs.

Both Sundar and Natarajan need to get their act together quickly or SRH will find it difficult to keep runs down.

The team is better than before and you shouldn't just write that off.

Lucknow Super Giants

LSG was successful in the last game against CSK. KL Rahul and Quinton de Kock got off to a brilliant start, after which Evin Lewis, Deepak Hooda and Ayush Badoni also played some brilliant shots to help chase down the fourth highest goal in IPL history.

That was LSG's best performance and showed what the team can achieve. This is a batting lineup, but one that can be quite vulnerable to some early wickets, as we saw in game one. Manish Pandey is the only hitter to have struggled for form in both games and he could be someone to bet against.

LSG's bowling is also not convincing. Only Ravi Bishnoi has picked up wickets and kept runs down regularly. He can be a good option for the top bowler LSG betting market. Avesh Khan in particular left a bad impression after a great season at the Delhi Capitals.

LSG bowling could come under pressure if one or two of the SRH batters fold in and start scoring
