LSG vs SRH, IPL 2025: Lucknow Super Giants are out of the IPL 2025 playoff race after a 6-wicket drubbing from Sunrisers Hyderabad, who have already been knocked out. Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen did the heavy-lifting in a 206-run chase while Kamindu Mendis and Ishan Kishan also played their part as SRH chased down 206 in 18.2 overs. The loss ended LSG’s any chance of reaching the playoffs, leaving Delhi Capitals and Mumbai Indians to fight for the spot.
Lucknow Super Giants posted 205/7 despite a 115-run opening stand between Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram. Marsh was dismissed for 65 while Markram scored 61. Nicholas Pooran also played a handy knock of 45 but as Rishabh Pant failed again, LSG could only manage 205. Earlier, Sunrisers Hyderabad captain Pat Cummins won the toss and opted to bowl. SRH are without Travis Head and Jaydev Unadkat, while they have dropped Mohd Shami. LSG have handed a debut to Will O’Rourke, dropping David Miller.
