The resumption of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 will host its 61st match between Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). The match will be played at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, on May 19. 

Lucknow Super Giants have been eliminated from the ongoing IPL 2025 as they finished in tenth position on the points table. They lost six out of the 11 matches that they played in the tournament. The new captain, Rishabh Pant, needs to understand what went wrong for the franchise in the season and come back stronger in the next one. 

On the other hand, the 2016 IPL champions, Sunrisers Hyderabad, couldn't stand up to the expectations and finished in seventh position on the points table. They have lost seven out of the 11 matches that they have played in this tournament.
