Though rain may threaten briefly, a complete match is expected on a pacer-friendly but slowly improving surface for spinners.

Head to Head Records

LSG and GT have faced each other five times in the IPL. GT lead the head-to-head record with four wins, while LSG has secured only one victory.

SRH are lagging at the bottom of the points table with just one win in five matches. The previous year's finalist needs a quick turnaround before things become impossible to reach the play-offs.

Match Prediction

The Hyderabad pitch will initially favor batsmen but will slow down as the match progresses. Both teams have quality spinners who could play a crucial role in the middle overs. Players who can score against spin and pacers who can vary their pace will be valuable.
