The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will square off in the 58th game of the IPL 2023 on Saturday, May 13. The match will take place at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.

Since both teams still have a chance to advance to the IPL 2023 playoffs, they will be competing for the vital two points up for grabs. LSG, who had only one victory in their previous five games, dropped to fifth place with 11 points from the same number of games. SRH, on the other hand, has eight points from ten games and is ranked ninth.

In their final match on Sunday, May 7, Lucknow was humiliated by the Gujarat Titans (GT). They fell 56 runs short of their 228-run victory goal. LSG must play at the top of their game to secure a victory in Hyderabad, even though they have all the bases covered at times.

In contrast, the Sunrisers will be buoyant following their last-ball victory over the Rajasthan Royals (RR). Despite this, the think tank will be concerned due to SRH’s inconsistent bowling against the strong batting lineup of Lucknow.

This season, Hyderabad’s wicket has had a mixed bag of results. However, in the final day game, Rajasthan scored 203 runs.

Let’s examine the three batters who will contribute the most runs to today’s SRH vs. LSG matchup

1. Quinton de Kock

Due to Kyle Mayers’ brilliant performance at the top of the order, senior wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock warmed the benches for the majority of the season. De Kock stepped up right away when the South African was selected for the playing XI against GT after KL Rahul’s injury forced him out of the competition.

In spite of the fact that he was losing, he played a solid 70-run knockoff with 41 deliveries, hitting seven boundaries and three sixes.

The southpaw appeared to be in good shape and will attempt to keep up his run-scoring streak as LSG looks for their second victory in as many games.

2. Rahul Tripathi

Rahul Tripathi is gradually establishing himself as a top player in the IPL 2023 after a sluggish start to his campaign.

The No. A crucial impetus was given to SRH by the 3rd batter, who played a fantastic knock against RR, scoring 47 runs off just 29 deliveries.

On his best day, Tripathi can handle any bowling attack and is effective against both pace and spin.

He will try to increase his total today. He has already scored 237 runs in 10 IPL 2023 games, averaging 26 points per game.

3 Kyle Mayers

In his IPL debut season, Kyle Mayers is experiencing unprecedented success. He has scored the most runs in Lucknow with 359 runs in 11 games at a strike rate of 152.11, along with four half-centuries.

As LSG aim for a top-four finish, the southpaw will want to keep up his excellent form at the top of the order where he has scored consistently.

Mayers’ last game’s quickfire 48 against the Titans will serve him well going into the matchup with the SunRisers.
