Lucknow Super Giants set a formidable target of 206 runs for Sunrisers Hyderabad in their IPL 2025 clash at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow on Monday. The opening pair of Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram gave LSG a solid foundation with a 115-run stand, both registering half-centuries to kick off the innings in style.
However, skipper Rishabh Pant’s struggles with the bat continued as he was dismissed for just 7 runs by Eshan Malinga. Nicholas Pooran later provided a crucial late push with a quickfire 45, helping LSG finish at 205/6 at the end of their 20 overs.
In the bowling department for SRH, Eshan Malinga was the pick of the bowlers with two wickets, while debutant Harsh, Harshal Patel, and Nitish Reddy chipped in with one wicket each.
It was a memorable outing for Harshal Patel, who achieved the milestone of 150 wickets in the IPL during the match.
SRH skipper Pat Cummins won the toss and decided to bowl first. Both skippers after the toss: Pat Cummins: We want to know what we are chasing. Never know what the wicket will do. We haven't played to our potential and want to reach that. A few injuries gives a few chances to the new guys. We have some unfinished business. The team has been great, but we haven't fired. Head is in his hotel room. Unadkat is on a personal reason. Taide and Harsh Dubey come in. Rishabh Pant: Don't mind doing any [bat or bowl]. We want to play one match at a time and give our 100%. No unwanted pressure, it is always there. The team has regrouped really well and they are in a good headspace. Will O'Rourke is making his IPL debut.
