2016 winners Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow SuperGiants will play each other on March 27. While the former champions have started the tournament with a win, the SuperGiants faced an agonising loss. However, LSG has a 3-1 record against SRH but the strength of both teams suggest otherwise. Expect a cracking game between the two teams.
SRH vs LSG: Predicted Playing XI
This is the best possible playing XI for the first match of the tournament. The playing XI is expected to be the same unless the pitch demands other players to be included. However, there is an impact player rule which makes one of these players be replaced during the game.
