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

Harshal Patel to Aiden Markram, NO BALL, SIX! A freebie from Harshal and Markram make the most out of it! A high full toss around the chest level of the batter, Aiden Markram weighs on the back foot and pulls it with ease over deep mid-wicket for a six. He has made that look so easy to the eye.

Strategic Break. LSG were cruising consistently at above 10 runs per over, but those two quick wickets of Marsh and Pant, have slowed things down a bit. However, with enough wickets in hand and Markram looking rock-solid at one end, the Super Giants still can breach that 200-run mark. Also, Nicholas Pooran has got off to a steady start and would look forward to converting that into a quick blitz. For SRH, they have been good in patches and would look for a solid finish with the ball, with quick wickets. Here's Harshal Patel back into the attack.

Eshan Malinga to Aiden Markram, Slower delivery, bowled as a low full toss that dips and this one even curves away from off stump. Markram manages to hold his shape and pats it down to long on for a single.

Is that a catch? Harshal Patel gave the impression that he took the catch to begin with, but he quickly shook his head, signalling that it went into his hands on the bounce. The umpires have gone upstairs to have a look. It looks pretty close on the initial replay and the third umpire is checking it from a few different angles. Mighty close call but the third umpire concludes that as the ball went into the hands, a part of it was in contact with the ground as well. NOT OUT!

It goes flat and low towards the bowler, where Harshal Patel bends low on his follow-through and tries to scoop the ball before the ground. He initially celebrates but it is halted by the umpires as they want to have a check for a fair catch. The decision is sent upstairs. Mitchell Marsh is going nowhere as he waits for the verdict. After a few angles, the third umpire deems that the ball bumped just before the fingers of the bowler. It is not out and Marsh remains safe at the crease. Halfway through in the first innings and LSG are cruising unblemished on 108.
