Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is set to host match no.57 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 season as Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) take on the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on Wednesday (May 8). The race for the playoffs is on and the mid-table teams are under tremendous pressure to win every contest they have left in the league fixtures.

Pat Cummins and his team faced a defeat against the Mumbai Indians (MI) recently and on the other hand, LSG have also lost their contest against the Kolkata Knight Riders by a massive margin of 98 runs.
