The seventh match of IPL 2025 featured an electrifying clash between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad. The match had fans on the edge of their seats with thrilling batting performances, fiery bowling spells, and some sensational fielding efforts.
SRH’s Batting Blitz
Sunrisers Hyderabad, opting to bat first, got off to a fiery start with openers Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma attacking from the very first ball. Their aggressive intent set the foundation for a massive total.
The real game-changer was Ishan Kishan, who played an explosive knock, smashing an unbeaten 106 off just 47 balls. His innings included a flurry of sixes and fours, dismantling LSG’s bowling attack. Heinrich Klaasen added valuable runs in the death overs, pushing SRH’s total to a mammoth 215/4 in 20 overs.
LSG’s Chase Falls Short
Lucknow Super Giants had a tough task ahead, chasing down a formidable total. Their innings started on a shaky note as SRH’s pace attack, led by Pat Cummins and Mohammed Shami, kept them under pressure.
Despite Nicholas Pooran and Deepak Hooda showing some resilience in the middle overs, wickets kept tumbling at regular intervals. The lack of a solid opening stand hurt LSG, and they eventually managed only 174/8 in 20 overs, falling short by 41 runs.
Key Moments of the Match
- Ishan Kishan’s Century: A breathtaking 106* off 47 balls that changed the game for SRH.
- Cummins and Shami’s Lethal Spells: Both bowlers took crucial wickets, ensuring LSG never gained momentum.
- Abhinav Manohar’s Stunning Catch: A brilliant fielding effort that turned the match further in SRH’s favor.
What’s Next?
With this win, SRH climbs up the points table and looks strong for their upcoming match against Delhi Capitals. Meanwhile, LSG will need to regroup and work on their strategy before facing Punjab Kings in their next game.
