On May 13th, the 58th match of Indian Premier League 2023 will witness a clash between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
The last time these two teams faced each other was at the Lucknow venue, where SRH batted first but could only score 121 runs. This is the second-lowest first innings score in this season of IPL. LSG managed to chase it down comfortably with four overs to spare, showing their strength and depth in their batting line-up.
As of now, Sunrisers Hyderabad is positioned second last on the points table with four victories and six defeats. In order to keep their IPL playoff hopes alive, they need to win all of their remaining games.
Whereas Lucknow Super Giants have won five, and lost five, with one game being abandoned due to rain. They suffered a big loss against Gujarat Titans in their last game, which was a wake-up call for them to step up their game in the remaining matches of the league stage.
As fantasy cricket enthusiasts gear up for the match, here are the top 5 must-have picks for the SRH vs LSG game:
Kyle Mayers (LSG)
For the Super Giants this season, Mayers has been in outstanding form, allowing 359 runs in 11 innings at an average of 32.63 and a strike rate of 152.1.

With two half-centuries in his last three games, Abhishek Sharma has been one of the Sunrisers’ best players this season. In eight games, he has scored 203 runs, averaging 25.37 and a strike rate of 152.63. Sharma is an absolute must for fantasy teams because of his good form at this time.
Heinrich Klaasen (SRH)
