IPL 2026, SRH vs LSG Today Match: Lucknow Super Giants won the toss and elected to bowl first against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 10th match of the Indian Premier League 2026 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Sunday, April 5, 2026. Hyderabad made two changes to its lineup, bringing in Liam Livingstone and Harshal Patel. Lucknow made one change, with Manimaran Siddharth replacing Anrich Nortje.Lucknow captain Rishabh Pant said the decision was influenced by the nature of the pitch, which he expects to assist bowlers early before easing out for batting later in the innings. “The wicket is good, but at the same time, you know, their main strength is batting. So, let them bat first. We can put them under pressure in the second innings. We keep on coming here every year, that's not a new challenge. But at the same time, this is one team which can hurt you well. But at the same time, whoever plays the better cricket will win. (On the conditions) It looks like a good wicket for sure. But at the same time, there is something in the wicket. After the powerplay, I think it might stick into the wicket as much. The ball will get older and it's going to be harder to score,” Pant said at the toss.Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Ishan Kishan said his side was confident of putting up a strong total at home despite losing the toss. “It's always good to get your home support and the crowd loves the SRH team. So yeah, very happy to be here. There are just two changes. Livingstone comes in and Harshal Patel comes in. Harshal Patel, he's done well whenever he's bowled here. And Livi, giving him an opportunity to use his off-spin as well against the left-handers. In T20 especially, execution is the most important thing. You need to be in a good headspace, calm and try to save as many runs as we can. So just plan well and execute your balls. And I think let's see how it goes from there. It's really important for us to get these two points. But at the same time, we need to be calm, take one match at a time. And that is the whole plan. Be in a good headspace, like I said earlier, and just play your best game possible,” Kishan said.Sunrisers Hyderabad enter the contest with momentum following a win over Kolkata Knight Riders and are placed fifth on the points table. Lucknow Super Giants, led by Rishabh Pant, are seeking their first victory of the season after losing their opener to Delhi Capitals and currently sit eighth in the standings.Playing XIsSunrisers Hyderabad:Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan (captain/wicketkeeper), Heinrich Klaasen, Liam Livingstone, Aniket Verma, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Harsh Dubey, Shivang Kumar, Harshal Patel, Jaydev Unadkat.Lucknow Super Giants:Mitchell Marsh, Rishabh Pant (captain/wicketkeeper), Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran, Abdul Samad, Mukul Choudhary, Manimaran Siddharth, Avesh Khan, Mohammed Shami, Digvesh Singh Rathi, Prince Yadav.Impact Substitutes:Sunrisers Hyderabad Impact subs: Eshan Malinga, Salil Arora, David Payne, Shivam Mavi, Zeeshan AnsariLucknow Super Giants Impact subs: Ayush Badoni, Matthew Breetzke, Shahbaz Ahmed, Anrich Nortje, Himmat Singh Pitch ReportThe pitch at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is expected to favor batters, with a typically high-scoring surface on offer. While conditions are slightly overcast, the dry nature of the pitch could bring spinners into play as the match progresses. The ground dimensions — with shorter boundaries square of the wicket — are likely to encourage aggressive strokeplay. Experts believe a total in excess of 200 could be on the cards, making batting first a potentially advantageous option in this day game.
