The Rishabh Pant- led Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by five wickets at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad to register their first win of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. Before the SRH vs LSG clash, the Pat Cummins-led side were the hot favourite to win the clash, considering their batting line-up as past performance in the ongoing mega event.
SRH created history in their IPL 2025 opener clash against the Rajasthan Royals (RR), smashing the second-highest total in the history of the tournament. But in their second clash, LSG restricted them to just 190 runs and registered a dominating win against the IPL 2024 finalists.
