**Hyderabad, India** – The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) pulled off a stunning five-wicket victory over the previously undefeated SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) in a thrilling IPL 2025 match, sending shockwaves through the league standings. Nicholas Pooran’s explosive 70 off 26 balls and a four-wicket haul from Shardul Thakur spearheaded LSG’s triumph.

SRH, coming into the match as table-toppers, were restricted to 190/9 despite contributions from Aniket Verma and Pat Cummins. Thakur’s early strikes, dismissing Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan in consecutive deliveries, were crucial in curbing SRH’s momentum. Prince Yadav also played a key role, claiming two wickets through a combination of skill and luck.

Despite Aiden Markram’s early dismissal, Pooran and Mitchell Marsh (52 off 31) propelled LSG’s chase, putting on a dominant partnership. While both fell to Cummins, the damage was done, with David Miller and Abdul Samad finishing the job in the 17th over.

The victory catapulted LSG from the bottom of the table to second place, boasting a healthy net run rate (NRR) of 0.963. Conversely, SRH’s NRR plummeted from +2.2 to a dismal -0.128, dropping them to seventh place. This unexpected loss allowed Royal Challengers Bangalore to seize the top spot in the standings.
