New Delhi. The match between the teams of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), which have opened their winning account in the Indian Premier League 2026, is to be played this afternoon at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. This will be the first match of the 19th season of IPL which will be played on this ground. The first match was played at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in April 2008. The competition between the two wicketkeeper captains of Team India will be seen here. On one side there will be Rishabh Pant and on the other side there will be Ishan Kishan.

A total of 83 IPL matches have been played on this ground so far. The teams batting in the second innings have won 47 matches while the teams batting in the first innings have won 35 matches. Interestingly, the teams that lost the toss have won more matches than the teams that won the toss.

Many great performances have been seen on this ground. Abhishek Sharma has made the highest individual score of 141 runs. Alzarri Joseph has achieved the best bowling figures of 6/12. The highest team score here has been 286/6 and the lowest has been 80. On an average, the team score in the first innings is around 163 runs.

What is the prediction regarding the pitch?

The last IPL match at this ground was canceled due to rain in May last year. SRH had scored 133/7 in that match. The second innings of Delhi Capitals could not be completed and there was no result in the match. Sunrisers are known for their aggressive batting and they score such scores at home which are surprising even for modern T20 cricket. Fans can once again expect rain of runs.
