Shardul Thakur's four-fer sets the tone for Lucknow Super Giants' win

Lucknow Super Giants bounced back from a heartbreaking defeat to register their first win of IPL 2025 against Sunrisers Hyderabad with five wickets and 3.5 overs to spare.

PowerPlay – A decent bounce-back after quick wickets fall

  • SRH were restricted to 15 after two overs, with Shardul Thakur picking up two quick wickets of Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan.
  • Thakur then scalped Abhishek for the third time across seven T20s with a bouncer and followed it up by strangling centurion from the last game, Kishan, down the legside.

Middle overs – A finely balanced phase of wickets and runs

  • LSG continued to be sloppy in the field, allowing SRH to scamper for three before Prince Yadav rattled the stumps of Travis Head.
  • Yadav landed the ball right under the bat and mixed it up with wide slower-ball yorkers, getting Heinrich Klaasen run-out backing up too far after Reddy drilled one back to him.

Death overs – Sixes aplenty with wickets tumbling all around

  • Aniket Verma continued his onslaught with back-to-back sixes off Rathi, but the bowler had the last laugh as Verma holed out to long-off after a 13-ball 36.
  • Thakur then picked up his fourth on the night, with the wicket of Mohammed Shami, as he ended with career-best figures of 4 for 34.

PowerPlay – Pooran, Marsh give SRH a taste of their own medicine

  • Abhishek began with a quiet three-run over, an anomaly in a gruesome PowerPlay for the hosts.
  • Mitchell Marsh broke the shackles with a flick over mid-wicket to the fence, and Nicholas Pooran wasted no time to get going, smashing two sixes on the onside off Simarjeet Singh.

Middle overs – Second-wicket stand leaves Lucknow on the brink of victory

  • The hosts brought in Adam Zampa as their impact sub, but Pooran slog-swept him for six as the southpaw brought up his 50 off just 18 balls.
  • Harshal Patel followed it up with a nine-ball 15-run over as the partnership went past the 100-run mark.

Death overs – LSG seal the win comfortably

  • David Miller finished proceedings, playing a lofted drive through covers for four as LSG won with 23 balls to spare.
