match number 10 of ipl 2026 Will see Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) Take Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) Sunday afternoon at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. With SRH playing their first home game of the season, they will be keen to carry their momentum forward, while LSG will be desperate to bounce back after a disappointing start.
SRH are full of confidence after their impressive 65-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR). They responded brilliantly after losing their opener to Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) Made a huge score of 226/8 and bowled out KKR for 161 runs.. Their batting lineup looks to be in strong form, with Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma, Heinrich Klaasen and captain Ishan Kishan all making important contributions. Abhishek’s quickfire 48 and Klaasen’s steady 52 were impressive, while Jaydev Unadkat (3/21) and Ishan Malinga (2/14) impressed with the ball. However, SRH will still miss Pat Cummins, who is out due to injury.
On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants are yet to open their account this season. Under the leadership of Rishabh Pant, they were bowled out for just 141 runs in their first match against Delhi Capitals (DC). While Mitchell Marsh and Abdul Samad showed some resistance with the bat, it was not enough. The positive for LSG was Mohammed Shami’s aggressive spell with the new ball, which put Delhi under pressure for some time.

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium Pitch Report
The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad is known for its batting-friendly conditions. A pitch made of red soil is generally flat and firm, allowing the ball to come onto the bat well. This results in good bounce and plenty of scoring opportunities, making high-scoring T20 matches quite common at this venue.
Batsmen generally enjoy playing here, especially in the early stages of the game when the surface is at its best. However, as the match progresses, the pitch may start to dry out, bringing spinners into the fray. Light grip and turn later on can help the slower bowlers control the flow of runs.
Another major trend on this ground is the teams’ success in chasing. Conditions are often good for batting in floodlights, so teams prefer to bowl first after winning the toss. Overall, this is a venue that promises exciting contests with a balance of big hitting and tactical bowling.
