Lucknow Super Giants take on Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2026 Match 75 at Ekana Stadium, Lucknow, with first ball at 7:30 PM IST.
The Ekana Stadium surface is slowest surface in the IPL, scores rarely cross 170. Par score is 160 first-innings par, and spin all-rounders win the fantasy contest. LSG have leaned on Nicholas Pooran and Rishabh Pant for top-order runs through this stretch of the season; their bowling stack rests on Mayank Yadav swinging the new ball. SRH counter with Travis Head anchoring and Pat Cummins as the breakthrough bowler.
For Dream11 captain, lead with Nicholas Pooran — the form line is clean. Travis Head vice-captain. Mitchell Marsh fills the differential slot for grand-league entries.

For Dream11 lineup construction the key inputs are the venue (above), the toss decision (chasing teams have been winning roughly 60% of night games at Ekana Stadium this season), and the lineup confirmation 30 minutes before first ball. Lock your team after the toss when possible.
