IPL 2025: 4 milestones that can be achieved in today's LSG vs SRH match

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will be up against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in match number 61 of IPL 2025 at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on Monday, May 19. LSG are among the three teams that are still in the race for the one playoffs spot that is up for grabs. As for SRH, they have been eliminated and would be looking to sign off on a high.

Lucknow are currently in seventh position in the IPL 2025 points table, with 10 points from 11 games. They need to win all their remaining matches to finish on 16 points and also hope that Mumbai Indians (MI) and Delhi Capitals (DC) stay below the 16-point mark. That's the only way LSG can qualify for the playoffs. If Mumbai and Lucknow both finish on 16 points, MI will qualify due to a better net run rate.

Winning three out of three, though, would be a herculean task for Rishabh Pant and co. They have lost four of their last five matches. Skipper Pant has failed to live up to expectations, while the top order, which was brilliant in the first half, has also lost steam. LSG have been inconsistent with the ball as well.

In the head-to-head battle, Lucknow have a 4-1 lead over Hyderabad. They beat SRH by five wickets when the sides clashed in the first half. Ahead of the IPL 2025 match on Monday, we take a look at some milestones that can be achieved by players from both sides.
