Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants will take on each other in the 12th match of IPL 2022 on Monday. Both the teams have had contrasting journeys in the tournament so far. SRH played their first match of the season against Rajasthan Royals. Their bowlers conceded 210 runs in 20 overs and the batters failed to chase down this total. They need to work in all the departments to succeed in the tournament.

Lucknow Super Giants lost their first game against Gujarat Titans and came back with force against Chennai Super Kings in the previous match. They chased down the target of 211 runs in 19.3 overs with 6 wickets in hand. Their batters have performed decently in the two matches but need to tick a few boxes in the bowling department.

Here are 3 players you can avoid in your fantasy teams for the SRH vs LSG game:

1. Abhishek Sharma

SRH shelled out INR 6.5 crores to buy Abhishek Sharma in the IPL 2022 auction. They had to fight a tough battle against Gujarat Titans and Punjab Kings. Abhishek opened the innings for SRH in the first game and could make only 9 runs off 19 deliveries. SRH could make only 14 runs in the powerplay. Abhishek normally plays in the lower middle-order for his state team in the domestic competitions and has hardly opened the innings. This new role might not suit him and hence, you may ignore him in your fantasy team for this game.

2. Manish Pandey

Manish Pandey will be up against his former franchise in this game. In the first two games, Pandey failed to make a double-digit score despite LSG switching his batting position. Against Gujarat Titans, Pandey batted at number four and could make only 6 runs off 5 deliveries. In the second game, he came out to bat at number three and scored 5 runs off 6 deliveries. You can avoid Pandey in this game and look to pick other batters in your team.

3. Andrew Tye

Andrew Tye made his debut for LSG in the previous match against CSK. Tye did pick two wickets but gave away 40 runs in 4 overs. LSG might pick Jason Holder in this game and Tye will have to sit out. Hence, you can avoid Tye for this game.
