LSG vs SRH Highlights, IPL 2025: Abhishek Sharma shines as Sunrisers Hyderabad beat Lucknow Super Giants by six wickets

Digvesh Singh to Kamindu Mendis, MISFIELD, FOUR! Bishnoi could have done much, much better in the deep, but when it's not your day, it's just not your day! Pitched quite fuller, and on middle and leg, Kamindu Mendis chips it over mid-wicket as the ball rolls to the fence. Ravi Bishnoi runs across and slides to his right in the deep, but the ball spins in the opposite direction of his slide, running into the fence.

Digvesh Singh to Kamindu Mendis, FOUR! The 150 is up for SRH! Dishes out a googly does Digvesh, full and around middle and leg. Kamindu Mendis reads it well and reverse sweeps it between short third and backward point for a boundary. Excellent shot.

Shardul Thakur to Kamindu Mendis, Pace-off delivery, short and on top of off, Kamindu Mendis gets across to pull, but hits off the toe end, toward mid-wicket. Digvesh Singh picks it up quickly and throws flat to the bowler's end, but misses and Kamindu Mendis is quick to reach to the other end. Sunrisers Hyderabad need another 58 runs off 42 balls remaining.

Shardul Thakur to Kamindu Mendis, Nagging length, outside off, punched off the back foot to cover.

Shardul Thakur to Kamindu Mendis, Good effort in the deep! A low full toss from Shardul, on off, Kamindu Mendis drills it straight down the ground. Abdul Samad from long off runs across and dives to his left to intercept the ball. Saves two for his side.

Shardul Thakur to Heinrich Klaasen, Another one with pace off, short and around off, climbing on the shoulders of the batter. Heinrich Klaasen pulls it through square leg and gets another single.

Shardul Thakur to Kamindu Mendis, Rolls the fingers on the leather and hurls a slower one, on off, full in length, 113.8 kph, Kamindu Mendis prods forward and drives it to long off for a single.

Shardul Thakur to Heinrich Klaasen, On the hard length, outside off, Heinrich Klaasen weighs back, lets the slower one to arrive and drives it through cover-point for a single.

Digvesh Singh to Kamindu Mendis, Much quicker, at 101.2 kph, on middle, Kamindu Mendis steers it through the mid-wicket region, playing it along the ground and scampers back for the second run. Good running!

Digvesh Singh to Kamindu Mendis, Nagging length, quicker at 91.6 kph, on off, Kamindu Mendis tucks across into the leg side.

Digvesh Singh to Kamindu Mendis, Googly again, on a length, at off, punched off the back foot.

Kamindu Mendis is the new batter in.

Digvesh Singh to Ishan Kishan, OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! A needless shot, to be very fair from Ishan Kishan and out comes the notebook again for Digvesh. He dishes out a deceptive googly and lands it somewhere between the middle and leg stump, on a fuller length. Ishan Kishan premeditates and tries to play the switch hit, but certainly does not pick up the googly off the bowler's hand. The ball lands, and turns away from the batter, as Ishan misses to connect and clips the top of the off stump. Ishan Kishan departs for 35 (28).

Digvesh Singh to Heinrich Klaasen, Pushed through, wide of off, on a length, Heinrich Klaasen reaches for it and taps it through cover for a single.

Digvesh Singh to Heinrich Klaasen, SIX! As easy as you like! Dropped short, sliding on the leg stump line. It is the carrom ball and Heinrich Klaasen picks up in a trice, as he goes quickly deep inside the crease. Pulls it with ease and gets it behind deep mid-wicket for a six.

Shardul Thakur to Ishan Kishan, Slower one again, just around off, on a nagging length. Ishan Kishan is early to go through the shot and pulls off the toe-end of the bat. Luckily for him, the ball lands behind mid-wicket and the batters hare back for the second run. An expensive over from Shardul as well, as he goes for 13 off his first over. Sunrisers Hyderabad need another 73 off 9 overs remaining.

Shardul Thakur to Heinrich Klaasen, Around off, worked through widish cover for a single.

Shardul Thakur to Heinrich Klaasen, FOUR! A bit edgy but Klaasen will take it! Short and dug into the surface by Thakur, on the bodyline. Heinrich Klaasen swings to pull but gets a bit of a top edge and the ball flies over the keeper for a boundary at deep fine leg.

Shardul Thakur to Ishan Kishan, Takes the pace off, on a hard length, across off, Ishan Kishan punches it on the up and between mid off and cover for a single.

Shardul Thakur to Heinrich Klaasen, Slower delivery, at 114.7 kph, outside off, on a fuller length, driven through cover-point for a single.

Shardul Thakur to Heinrich Klaasen, FOUR! Pulled away neatly! Back of a length, just outside off. It is the knuckle ball which is watched well by the batter. Heinrich Klaasen stands tall and pulls it gloriously through mid-wicket for a cracking boundary.

Avesh Khan to Heinrich Klaasen, Back of a length and over middle, stopping in the deck. Klaasen punches on the up and gets it uppishly through mid on for one more.

Avesh Khan to Ishan Kishan, No timing on that one but will get away with it. Another heavy delivery, banged into the deck, this time angled at the batter. Kishan goes hard at the pull but miscues it badly around the vacant backward square leg region and picks up a single.

Avesh Khan to Ishan Kishan, Kishan charges down the pitch as Avesh bangs it in short again, bowling it outside off. Kishan goes hard at it but gets an under edge back to the keeper. Three dots on the trot.

The physio rushes out from the SRH camp to tend to Ishan Kishan for the mandatory concussion test. He looks fine to continue.

Avesh Khan to Ishan Kishan, Good change-up now! Avesh brings out the slower bumper now, bowling it around off and at an awkward height. Ishan Kishan is through the pull early and gets hit flush on the side of the helmet. A mandatory concussion check will now follow but thankfully, Kishan looks fine.

Avesh Khan to Ishan Kishan, Beauty! Around the wicket to the left-hander, bowling it on a hard length and on a very tight line around off stump. Kishan tries to stay leg side and guide it away but the ball just beats the outside edge.

Avesh Khan to Heinrich Klaasen, Slightly pitched up and darted in towards middle stump, Klaasen shows the full face of the ball and punches it down to long on for a run.

Digvesh probably has been given a breather after that heated verbal tussle with Sharma. He is replaced by Avesh Khan (1-0-14-0).

Aiden Markram to Ishan Kishan, SIX! Heaved away! Tossed up, not quite full and on middle and leg. Ishan Kishan sits down and manages to get under the ball before slogging it in front of square leg for a biggie.

Aiden Markram to Heinrich Klaasen, Full and straight, driven down to long on for a single by Klaasen.

Aiden Markram to Heinrich Klaasen, Flighted up, around off, Heinrich Klaasen gets across and inside the line before paddling down to fine leg for a couple of runs.

Aiden Markram to Ishan Kishan, Kishan is quick to charge down the track and Markram sees him coming, pulls the length back as well. Kishan ends up pushing it to long on for one.

Aiden Markram to Ishan Kishan, FOUR! Down the wrong line and Ishan Kishan takes advantage of it. Full and on the pads, sliding down leg, Kishan sits down and sweeps it off the under edge and very fine as the ball rolls into the fine leg fence.

Aiden Markram to Ishan Kishan, Brisk pace, a bit full and darted onto middle, Kishan jams it back to the bowler.

Aiden Markram replaces Ravi Bishnoi.

Digvesh Singh to Heinrich Klaasen, Short and slightly wide, cut away off the back foot through cover-point for another single. A successful over for Digvesh Singh, just 5 runs and a big wicket off it.

Digvesh Singh to Heinrich Klaasen, On the shorter side and around off, punched away from the crease and down to long off for a single. The 100 comes up for the Sunrisers!

Heinrich Klaasen walks in at 4 now.

Digvesh Singh to Abhishek Sharma, OUT! CAUGHT! A bit unnecessary from Abhishek Sharma but a huge wicket for Digvesh Singh and LSG! Digvesh floats the ball up and angles it well wide of the off stump. Sharma stays put and just reaches out with those long levers to loft it over covers. The timing just isn't there and Shardul Thakur comes racing in from the deep to take a fine catch. Digvesh brings out that signature 'notebook' celebration and Abhishek has a war of words with him before the umpires intervene and separate the two. Sharma departs for a fiery 59 off just 20 balls.

Digvesh Singh to Ishan Kishan, Tossed up, quite full and on off, Kishan looks to go over long off but doesn't get under it and swats it almost along the turf to long off for a single.

Digvesh Singh to Ishan Kishan, Nagging length, angling across from middle and leg, Kishan stays back and watchfully defends.

Strategic Break. Phew, take a breather, shall we? Barring that one blip towards the beginning of the chase, Sunrisers Hyderabad have looked like a runaway train so far. Abhishek Sharma has treated us with some colossal hits and has already notched up an 18-ball fifty, looking unstoppable. Ishan Kishan has provided steady support from the other end, and this partnership is threatening LSG massively. Frustrations loom large for skipper Pant, as none of their bowlers so far have bowled with conviction, and to make their case worse, they have bowled a bit too many extras as well. It's all about getting Abhishek Sharma back into the dugout, or else, it will be an early finish here, as we have seen this man finishing games like a one-man army. To break the stand, Digvesh Singh is back on. Went for six in his first over.

Ravi Bishnoi to Abhishek Sharma, SIX! Oh, through the hands and for another six! Bihnoi bowls it a bit short now and around middle and leg, Abhishek Sharma stays back and pulls it away to the left of deep mid-wicket. Nicholas Pooran covers good ground but as he reaches out for the catch, the ball bursts through the hands with the ball and Pooran both ending over the ropes. A massive over for SRH, 26 off it!

Ravi Bishnoi to Abhishek Sharma, SIX! Make that a hat-trick of biggies for Abhishek Sharma and what a way to bring up the FIFTY as well. This is floated up, full and outside off, in the hitting arc. Sharma with a step-hit straight back over the bowler's head and gets it flat over the ropes. A fifty of just 18 balls!

Ravi Bishnoi to Abhishek Sharma, SIX! That is a colossal hit! Length ball on off, fired in a bit, Sharma stays on the front foot and swings through the line, smashing it wide of deep mid-wicket for back-to-back sixes.

Ravi Bishnoi to Abhishek Sharma, SIX! Sliced, but makes no difference! Slightly tossed up, outside off and just a bit too full. Abhishek Sharma uses those long levers and gets enough under it to lift it over long off for a biggie.

Ravi Bishnoi to Ishan Kishan, Fuller one, angled just across off, glided away to the left of short third for a single by Kishan.

Ravi Bishnoi to Ishan Kishan, On a dragged length, angled well across off, Kishan rises up with the bounce and taps it straight to covers.
