Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper won the toss and elected to bowl against Lucknow Super Giants in Mumbai. The bottom-placed SRH decided to play with the same XI from the last match while Lucknow include Jason Holder in their XI in place of Dushmantha Chameera.
Hello and welcome to our live coverage of Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow Super Giants IPL 2022 Match 12 from DY Patil Sports Academy, Mumbai. Kane Williamson’s SRH had an underwhelming start to the IPL 2022 with a crushing 61-run defeat to Rajasthan Royals. SRH bowling and batting looked very ordinary in their opening contests and the team heavily relied on individual brilliance to get off the line. On the other side, LSG have a mixed start to the season with a defeat against Gujarat Titans, followed by a thrilling win over defending Chennai Super Kings.
LSG rely heavily on their batting prowess which have some quality white-ball players in KL Rahul, Quinton de Kock, Evin Lewis and Manish Pandey. While SRH batting looked a bit weak in front of them with Williamson and Nicholas Pooran being the only big names.

West Indian Evin Lewis smashed an unbeaten 55 off 23 balls in a steep chase of 211 against CSK while, in Deepak Hooda, LSG possess a dependable middle-order batter. Young Ayush Badoni, who has taken the ongoing IPL by storm with his six-hitting prowess, is a treat to watch and would be looking to carry on his fine form.
Badoni struck an 41-ball 54 in his IPL debut against Titans and followed it up with yet another entertaining nine-ball unbeaten 19-run knock against CSK.
On the bowling front, Avesh Khan, Sri Lankan Dushmantha Chameera, Andrew Tye and Ravi Bishnoi were the main wicket-takers for LSG in the two matches so far, but they need to be more disciplined to contain the run flow. Sunrisers, on the other hand, were blown away by the batting effort of Rajasthan Royals in a 61-run defeat in their opening match.
In their only match so far, South African Aiden Markram played an unbeaten 57-run knock off 41 balls, while Sundar hit a blazing 14-ball 40, albeit in a losing cause. Sunrisers would be looking for a complete, all-round performance to register their first win of the season.
