Struggling Lucknow Super Giants are all set to clash against Sunrisers Hyderabad in their first match following the resumption of the IPL 2025. The match is scheduled to be played on Monday at the Ekana Cricket Stadium B Ground at 7:30 PM.
SRH will likely miss the services of their swashbuckling batsman, Travis Head, ahead of the match. His feature in the match is uncertain as head coach Daniel Vettori confirmed that the left-hander has had Covid-19.
"Travis is coming in tomorrow morning. He was delayed. He actually had COVID, so he could not travel. So he will get in tomorrow morning, and we will assess how he is after that," said Vettori.
Currently, LSG are placed in the seventh spot with 10 points in 11 matches. Lucknow have very slim chances of making it to the playoffs of the ongoing league. On the other hand, the campaign for SRH is nothing but over. They are in eighth place with just seven wins.
