Sunrisers Hyderabad play Lucknow Super Giants in the tenth match of IPL 2026 at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Sunday, 5 April. It is an afternoon game, starting at 3:30 pm local time.
Hyderabad’s squad lists Pat Cummins as captain and features Travis Head, Ishan Kishan, Heinrich Klaasen, Abhishek Sharma, Liam Livingstone, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Harshal Patel and Jaydev Unadkat. Lucknow’s group includes Rishabh Pant, Nicholas Pooran, Aiden Markram, Mitchell Marsh, Josh Inglis, Mohammed Shami and Mayank Yadav.
The pitch is fair to both sides, so partnerships and strong middle-over and death-over scoring should decide the game. Spinners may come into play as the surface slows, and the afternoon heat of 36–38 °C will test stamina. With little dew expected, the chasing advantage is small. Our preview picks Sunrisers Hyderabad.
