SRH vs LSG Predicted Playing XI - IPL 2022 Match 12
Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Lucknow Super Giants Probable XIs
Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants will cross swords in match 12 of the Indian Premier League. LSG come into the match after a win over Chennai Super Kings. They were down and out after CSK posted a daunting 210. However, a magnificent batting display saw Lucknow chase the target with eight wickets to spare. Meanwhile, SRH took a beating against Rajasthan. They were completely outplayed and lost the match by 61 runs. After conceding 210 runs, the team could only reach 149 against RR.
Sunrisers Hyderabad
Sunrisers Hyderabad need to fix their batting which looks weak. However, we don't think they will be keen to change their combination after just one loss.
Top Order
Abhishek Verma, Rahul Tripathi and Kane Williamson will be the top three batters. SRH can also try Aiden Markram at the top as he is a specialist opener. They can push either Verma or Tripathi down the order.
Middle Order
The middle-order will comprise Nicolas Pooran, Aiden Markram and Abdul Samad. Markram and Pooran are established batters, while Samad has shown glimpses of a very bright future.
All-rounders
Washinton Sundar and Romario Shepherd will be the two all-rounders. Sundar played a blistering knock of 40 in 14 balls in the last game and can add a few handy runs down the order. However, SRH will need him to step up with the ball. Romario Shepherd too will need to deliver some magic with the ball.
Bowlers
Bhuvneshwar Kumar, T Natarajan and Umran Malik will be the bowlers. Malik can crank up high speed and pick wickets. However, he can be expensive. T Natarajan and Kumar need to control the run flow. Bhuvi especially will aim for a few wickets with the new ball.
SRH Key Batters
- Aiden Markram - The South African showed his brilliance in the last game and scored 57 off 41. With a shaky and inexperienced batting lineup, Markram will be a key player.
- Kane Williamson - The Kiwi veteran is the most important batter in the team. While other players will have to score quickly, Williamson is someone who will bind the innings together.
- Abdul Samad - If SRH gets a decent start, Samad can be destructive in the death overs. He can hit some lusty blows and make a difference of 20-30 runs in the original target.

SRH Key Bowlers
- Bhuvneshwar Kumar - Kumar will be responsible for picking early wickets with the new ball as LSG has a long batting.
- Umran Malik - Malik may leak a few runs but he is a wicket-taker in the team.
- Washington Sundar - Sundar, being a spinner will have to control the run flow in middle overs and pick a few wickets as well.

Lucknow Super Giants
LSG picked up a big win over CSK, having chased 210. They won't be keen on making any changes as they look a good side.
Top Order
KL Rahul, Quinton de Kock and Evin Lewis form a formidable top order. Each player possesses the ability to win matches on his own.
Middle Order
Deepak Hooda, Manish Pandey and Ayush Badoni make this middle order looks laced with quality. Hooda and Badoni have been very impressive in the two games. Pandey is yet to deliver but he is a quality player.
All-rounder
Krunal Pandya will be the all-rounder and will be responsible for a few quick runs and some tight overs.
Bowlers
In Dushmantha Chameera, Andrew Tye, Ravi Bishnoi and Avesh Khan, LSG have a potent bowling lineup. Chameera has been excellent in both games, and so is has Ravi Bishnoi. Avesh Khan and Andrew Tye add a lot of variety to the bowling. The former can crank up high speeds while Tye has plenty of variations up his sleeves.
LSG Key Batters
- Quinton de Kock - While Evin Lewis won the match for LSG, De Kock set up the chase with a solid 50. He is one batter if get on a roll will be hard to stop.
- KL Rahul - The skipper has been quiet so far but one can bet on him to come good pretty soon.
- Ayush Badoni - Badoni has been a find of this tournament so far. In the first game, he scored a brilliant 50, while played a match-winning knock of 19 off 9 against CSK
