Batting first, it was a huge struggle for Sunrisers Hyderabad who could only manage 121 runs at the end of their 20 overs. Krunal Pandya picked up 3 wickets and was the star with the ball. Ravi Bishnoi also picked up a wicket and became the highest Indian wicket-taker so far in IPL 2023.
In the run chase, LSG reached the target with ease with four overs to spare. KL Rahul (35) and Krunal Pandya (34) were the key in the chase as the pair took their team home with finesse and quality. Krunal was awarded the player of the match for his outstanding all-around performance.
SRH have now lost consecutive matches while Lucknow have shrugged off their previous match loss against CSK. LSG, with the win, go to the summit of the IPL table while SRH are rooted at the bottom.
Lucknow Super Giants will be taking on Royal Challengers Bangalore in the next match on Monday (April 10), while Sunrisers Hyderabad host Punjab Kings on Sunday (April 9).
