Sun Mar 30 11:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Lucknow Super Giants Triumph Over Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL Thriller
**Lucknow, India** – The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) secured a thrilling five-wicket victory over the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in a high-scoring IPL 2025 match at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium on Wednesday. SRH, batting first, set a challenging target of 191 runs. Shardul Thakur, the unsold IPL auction player who later joined LSG, starred with a four-wicket haul for LSG.
LSG chased down the target with 23 balls to spare, reaching 193/5 thanks to impressive fifties from Nicholas Pooran (70 off 26 balls) and Mitchell Marsh. The match was filled with dramatic moments, including two dropped catches by Nicholas Pooran off Ravi Bishnoi’s bowling, which allowed Travis Head to survive. Further excitement ensued when Heinrich Klaasen was run out at the non-striker’s end, and a spectacular diving catch by Harshul Patel dismissed Ayush Badoni.
LSG also achieved their second-highest powerplay score of the season, reaching 77/1, just shy of their best of 80/1 achieved against Chennai in 2023. Shardul Thakur’s impressive performance earned him the Player of the Match award. The victory marks LSG’s first win of IPL 2025.
