Who Won Yesterday's IPL Match? In a high-octane clash at Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, the Lucknow Super Giants defeated the Sunrisers Hyderabad by 5 wickets in Match 7 of the IPL 2025 season. Chasing 191 runs, LSG overhauled the target in just 16.1 overs, powered by Nicholas Pooran's blistering 70 off 26 balls and Shardul Thakur's match-winning bowling heroics.
This competition boasts numerous exciting highlights that are worth paying attention to. LSG's chase was anchored by Pooran's 269.23 strike rate, which included six fours and six sixes, setting the fastest fifty of the season in 18 balls. Mitchell Marsh added a composed 52 off 31 balls, ensuring the visitors stayed ahead of the required rate. Earlier, Thakur's bowling heroics dismantled SRH's batting lineup, dismissing Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan in the third over to disrupt their momentum. Despite Travis Head's 47 and Aniket Verma's late 36 off 13 balls, SRH were restricted to 190/9, a total that proved insufficient against LSG's aggressive batting.
Pooran's innings marked the highest strike rate for a batter chasing 190+ runs in IPL history, earning him the Player of the Match award. Thakur's four-wicket haul, his career-best in the tournament, underscored his resurgence as a death-over specialist. For SRH, Pat Cummins' 2/29 and late hitting from Verma provided brief hope but failed to stem LSG's charge.
LSG skipper Rishabh Pant lauded his team's "clinical execution," highlighting the importance of the victory after a slow start to the season. Conversely, SRH captain Pat Cummins acknowledged his side's inability to capitalize on early opportunities, admitting, "LSG's depth in both departments proved too strong." The result sees LSG climb to second place in the IPL 2025 points table, while SRH's undefeated streak comes to an end.
