Rishabh Pant, who leads the Lucknow Super Giants, made a smart call to bowl after winning the flip of the coin. Pat Cummins and his Sunrisers Hyderabad team kicked off with confidence, yet the LSG bowlers aimed to disrupt. Shardul Thakur shone in his game, snagging an impressive four wickets and giving up 34 runs across his four overs. Nailing Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan back to back, he laid the groundwork for LSG’s overpowering hold, making things tough for the Sunrisers Hyderabad crew.

Travis Head from SRH showed real skill, fighting hard to score 47 runs despite initial troubles. Aniket Verma chipped in with a speedy 36 from just 13 balls, and Pat Cummins pitched in with a rapid appearance. Their efforts got SRH to a fighting score of 190/9 after 20 overs. Still, on a pitch that was nice for batting, that score didn’t look quite enough.

The standout was Pooran’s fiery play.

Despite Pat Cummins sending Pooran back to the dugout, LSG’s tail-enders kept things smooth. Abdul Samad’s cool batting closed the game for LSG pretty quick, in 16.1 overs, and left SRH’s bowlers kinda clueless. They bagged 62 runs and dropped just two wickets during the powerplay.

Shardul Thakur picked up where he left off in the last game versus the Delhi Capitals, grabbing four wickets and keeping the Sunrisers Hyderabad to less than 200 runs. LSG’s dynamite all-rounder took out Abhishek Sharma at just 6 runs, shooed away Ishan Kishan with a golden duck, and later snagged Abhinav Manohar as well as Mohammed Shami. Some earlier action saw Heinrich Klaasen run out in a wacky incident: Prince Yadav’s grazing throw hit and shattered the stumps while the South African was still outside his safe zone. Also, Travis Head, who had gotten a couple of lucky breaks in the final over of the powerplay, couldn’t make more of it and got bowled by Yadav after scoring 47.
