SRH vs LSG IPL 2025 Match Highlights, Scorecard & Key Moment

The IPL 2025 clash between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) on May 19, 2025, at the Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow, delivered a dramatic contest with playoff implications. SRH, already out of playoff contention, played party poopers by chasing down a daunting 206-run target, effectively ending LSG’s hopes of making the top four this season.

SRH vs LSG IPL 2025 : First Innings – LSG’s Explosive Start and Sudden Stumble

LSG, opting to bat first, got off to a flying start thanks to their makeshift opening pair of Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram. The duo put on a 115-run partnership in just 10.3 overs, attacking the SRH pace attack with confidence and flair. Marsh scored 65 off 39 balls (6 fours, 4 sixes), while Markram contributed 61 from 38 deliveries (4 fours, 4 sixes). This partnership has been one of the most successful in IPL 2025, second only to the GT pair of Gill and Sudharsan.

However, after both openers fell, LSG’s innings lost momentum. Captain Rishabh Pant’s struggles continued, managing only 7 runs before falling to Eshan Malinga. The middle and lower order couldn’t capitalize on the strong start, with wickets falling at regular intervals. Nicholas Pooran’s quickfire 45 off 26 balls (6 fours, 1 six) provided a late boost, pushing LSG to a competitive 205/7 in 20 overs.

He was well supported by Ishan Kishan (35 off 28), Heinrich Klaasen (47 off 28), and Kamindu Mendis (32 off 21), ensuring the chase never lost momentum.

Despite a couple of wickets from LSG’s Digvesh Singh, SRH’s batters kept the required rate in check.
