SRH vs LSG: Stadium Pitch Report
The pitch of Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi Stadium has so far favored the batters. However, on some occasions, it has also supported the bowlers. Taking the examples of the last few games, the bowl is surely getting some movements. In the match against RCB and SRH, the ball was getting stuck in the pitch and coming a bit slowly to the bat. But looking at the SRH scenario, they really look to get some more points. By which they can confirm their berth in the playoffs.
Since batting is the strong suit of Hyderabad, the team will try to set big scores. If they win the toss, they might choose to bat first and defeat Lucknow by runs.
