SRH vs LSG: Who won yesterday’s IPL 2025 match?

Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) beat Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by five wickets in yesterday's IPL 2025 match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad. Bowling first after winning the toss, LSG held SRH to 190-9 and then chased down the target in 16.1 overs.

Shardul Thakur was brilliant for Lucknow Super Giants with the ball, registering figures of 4-34. He dismissed Abhishek Sharma (6) and Ishan Kishan (0) off consecutive deliveries in the third over of the match. Abhishek pulled a short ball to deep square leg, while Kishan, SRH's centurion in the previous match, was caught down the leg side off an innocuous delivery.

Travis Head (47 off 28) again looked in great touch before he was knocked over by a full and straight delivery from Prince Yadav. Heinrich Klaasen (26 off 17) was then dismissed in unlucky fashion as a stroke from Nitish Reddy hit the bowler's hands and deflected onto the stumps with the SRH batter out of his crease.

Aniket Verma (36 off 13) played a splendid cameo to lift the batting side. However, Thakur picked up two more wickets at the death to ensure Sunrisers Hyderabad did not cross the 200-run mark.

Pooran, Marsh help LSG cruise in the chase

In the chase, LSG lost Aiden Markram (1) early as he chipped one from Mohammad Shami straight to mid-off. In-form batters Mitchell Marsh (52 off 31) and Nicholas Pooran (70 off 26), however, clobbered 116 runs at a rapid pace to put Lucknow in command of the chase.

Pooran was in sensational form yet again, slamming six fours and six sixes in his blazing knock. The left-handed batter struck Simarjeet Singh for a four and two maximums in the third over. The carnage continued from both ends as Lucknow Super Giants raced to 77-1 at the end of the powerplay.

Pooran reached his 50 off only 18 balls, slog-sweeping Adam Zampa for a six. His terrific knock ended when he was trapped leg before by SRH skipper Pat Cummins. Marsh also fell to the same bowler. However, Abdul Samad (22* off 18) played a nice cameo to seal an impressive win for LSG.
