Ninth-placed Sunrisers Hyderabad need to break the home jinx to harbour any hopes of qualifying for the Playoffs. SRH have stumbled in four of their five matches at home this season. A tentative side take on Lucknow Super Giants, who are better placed with 11 points, in the 3.30 pm match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium at Uppal on Saturday. In the scramble for Playoffs spots, LSG could be hit hard if they lose to SRH.
Sure, SRH, who have eight points, fumbled on three occasions while chasing modest targets at home but the Hyderabad team turned the tables on hosts Rajasthan Royals in a high-scoring match at Jaipur last week to stay in the fray. On the other hand, LSG lost to table toppers Gujarat Titans in their last match. LSG seem to lose their momentum after a good start and a win on Saturday could put them back in contention. For SRH, a loss could douse their hopes for a Playoffs place.
