Ahead of the IPL 2025 clash against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at home on Thursday (March 27, 2025), Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) bowling coach James Franklin said that cricket fans could get a chance to witness a 300 run-mark this season.
Last year’s finalists, SRH almost touched the 300-run mark in the previous encounter when they played Rajasthan Royals at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.
The searing display with the bat mesmerised the spectators as they scripted the story of a 250-plus run total yet again. With a swashbuckling performance on a show, SRH powered its way to 286/6 against the Rajasthan Royals.
This was the fourth instance of SRH breezing past the 250-plus total in T20s, the highest by any side in the format. Before their outing on Sunday, SRH was tied with Surrey for the most 250-plus totals in T20s.
Speaking ahead of the match, Franklin said that this time around, teams have touched the 230-240 run-mark already, so there are chances that we can witness a 300-run match as well in the upcoming days.
“I’d never say never. I think we ran it pretty close the other day ourselves, and I think we’ve seen already in a couple of other games that, you know, 230, 240s being achieved. So, yeah, why not?” James Franklin said in a pre-match press conference.
The Pat Cummins-led side will lock horns with Rishabh Pant’s LSG side in the seventh encounter of the ongoing IPL 2025 season, which will be played at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Thursday.
