Fri Mar 28 06:16:04 UTC 2025: ## Lucknow Super Giants Thrash Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2025 Thriller
**Hyderabad, March 27, 2025** – Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) secured a resounding five-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 encounter at Hyderabad on Thursday. Shardul Thakur’s impressive bowling performance restricted SRH to a below-par 190/9 in 20 overs, despite the presence of star batsmen like Travis Head and Ishan Kishan. This total, considered underwhelming given SRH’s batting prowess, proved insufficient against LSG’s powerful batting line-up.
Nicholas Pooran (70 off 26) and Mitchell Marsh (52 off 31) spearheaded LSG’s chase, effortlessly surpassing the target in just 16.1 overs. Their explosive batting display left SRH owner Kavya Maran visibly dejected, with her reactions generating significant buzz on social media.
SRH captain Pat Cummins acknowledged LSG’s strong bowling performance and conceded that his team hadn’t capitalized on a good batting wicket. He highlighted the need for one batsman to anchor the innings, a feat Ishan Kishan had achieved in their previous match. Despite the loss, Cummins remained optimistic, emphasizing the long tournament and the opportunity for improvement in their upcoming matches.
This defeat contrasts sharply with SRH’s opening match victory against Rajasthan Royals, where they amassed a staggering 286/6. Ishan Kishan’s century (106* off 47) and Travis Head’s 67 in that game highlighted their potential. Sunrisers Hyderabad will next face Delhi Capitals on Sunday in Visakhapatnam.
