IPL 2025: SRH VS LSG – Match Result & Highlights

The IPL 2025 encounter between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad was a closely fought game with both teams keen to win a make-or-break game early in the season, which led to a hard-fought and action-packed match.

Match Overview
The game started at 7:30 PM IST, with the fans occupied at the back of their team stands. Sunrisers Hyderabad, led by their captain, would have liked to apply home conditions, whereas Lucknow Super Giants would have liked to continue their dominance in the head-to-head strong as they had claimed three of their previous four matches against SRH.

First Innings: An Authoritative Batting Displayed
LSG, having won the toss, decided to bat and took it positively in the early stages. The opening two set it nicely up with KL Rahul playing in defensive anchor mode and his companion playing a guns-blazing inning. Key inputs by the middle-order batsmen left LSG in a position to settle down for a fighting total, far above the 180-run mark. Sunrisers’ bowling could not exert pressure in breaking the game during early overs but managed to suffocate it somewhat towards the end with important wickets.

Second Innings: SRH’s Pressure Chase
In pursuit of more than 180 runs, SRH started on both ways by losing a early wicket but getting back with a good stand from their top-order batsmen. LSG bowling attack, even though disciplined and putting pressure always, had the spin and the pace combinations slicing short the flow of runs. The game came down to last overs, and SRH was in need of a massive cameo in the later part of their lower-order hitters.

Last Minutes & Result
In a thriller finish, Sunrisers battled hard but lost narrowly, giving Lucknow Super Giants their second win in their one-sided encounters. LSG bowlers showed nerves of steel in the death overs to seal a vital win for their campaign.
