Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are set to host the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) for Match 10 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Sunday, 5 April.

Hyderabad Weather and Rain Forecast

The afternoon start time means the match will be played during the hottest part of the day. The maximum temperature in Hyderabad is expected to peak at 39°C around mid-afternoon, before gradually dipping to a still-warm 31°C by the end of the second innings.

The temperature is likely to hover around 41°C due to the direct sunlight, although the humidity remains relatively low at approximately 28 percent to 30 percent. Players will need to maintain high hydration levels to combat the dry heat, which has historically favoured batters at this venue.

Cricket enthusiasts can rest easy, as there is virtually no threat of rain interrupting the match. According to the latest meteorological data, the probability of precipitation in the Uppal area is a mere two percent. Fact Check: Did Hardik Pandya Miss DC vs MI IPL 2026 Match Due To Girlfriend Mahieka Sharma’s Pregnancy?.

Pitch and Match Conditions

The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is renowned for its flat, batting-friendly tracks. However, the extreme heat during the day can cause the surface to dry out further, potentially assisting spinners in the first innings.

As the sun sets during the second half of the match, the temperature will fall slightly, but the absence of significant humidity suggests that dew is unlikely to be a major factor in the final ten overs. Captains winning the toss may still prefer to bat first to avoid fielding in the peak afternoon heat.
