Mitchell Marsh, who plays for Lucknow Super Giants, said they won’t be intimidated by Sunrisers Hyderabad, even though they’re known for their explosive batting in IPL 2025. Marsh noted that scoring 230 is now standard on Indian pitches, so teams need to handle the pressure of high-scoring games.
LSG had a tough start with a one-wicket loss to Delhi Capitals, and now they’re up against a strong Sunrisers team that recently scored a massive 286 against Rajasthan Royals. In the pre-match chat, Marsh acknowledged SRH’s batting talent but insisted that LSG will stick to their game plan and strengths. Sure, they’re a great team, but we need to focus on our style of play. We know they’ll come at us hard. Most T20 teams push from the start, and we’ll feel the pressure too, but that’s part of the game, he said.
He emphasized that LSG needs to play their game and not get too caught up in what the Sunrisers can do. Marsh had a solid outing in his first match with a score of 72, alongside Nicholas Pooran’s impressive 75. For LSG to compete effectively against SRH, Rishabh Pant’s batting will be crucial after he went out for a duck in the opener.
One of LSG’s main worries is their bowling lineup which has been hit by injuries. With Sunrisers featuring big names like Travis Head and a centurion like Ishan Kishan, Lucknow’s bowlers have their work cut out for them. As IPL 2025 goes on, LSG will need to adapt quickly to keep pace with the high-scoring trend.
