SRH vs LSG Highlights, IPL 2026 Today Match Updates: Rishabh Pant Leads Lucknow Super Giants To A Five-Wicket Win Against Sunrisers Hyderabad!

Rishabh Pant led the Super Giants to their first win of the season. The left-handed batter struck a couple of boundaries on the first two balls of the final over. Jaydev Unadkat came on to bowl the final over with nine runs needed to win. He bounced back with a couple of dot balls. However, the LSG skipper struck yey another four to seal the win by five wickets.

Harsh Dubey has struck at a crucial time to provide the Sunrisers Hyderabad another chance of winning this clash at home. The left-arm spinner dismissed Abdul Samad on the fourth bal of the 18th over as LSG find themselves in tricky position in the chase. 

Jaydev Unadkat came back to the bowl the 16th over and gave away 14 runs in the over. The left-arm pacer was struck for a couple of fours by Rishabh Pant who is only three runs away from his half-century. 

Nicholas Pooran gifted his wicket to the Sunrisers Hyderabad. The left-handed batter playing a sweep thought the ball had gone past the wicketkeeper, but it bounced right into Ishan Kishan’s gloves. Pooran set off for a run and was dismissed by Kishan. 

Harsh Dubey, after bowling a couple of overs in the power play, returned to the attack and struck on his very first ball. Ayush Badoni decided to dance down the track but missed the ball. Ishan Kishan stumped him out as the Super Giants lost their third wicket. 

Rishabh Pant finally got a couple of boundaries. The left-handed batter finished the 12th over from Shivang Kumar with a couple of fours on the last two balls. 

Shivang Kumar has dismissed Aiden Markram on the second ball of the 10th over. The left-arm wrist spinner induced a false shot from the South African batter as he picked up his first wicket in the IPL. SRH needed this wicket to make any sort of comeback into the clash.

Eshan Malinga returned to the attack for the Orange Army. The Sri Lankan pacer produced a couple of wicket-taking opportunities, but the fielders could not hang onto the difficult chances. 

Aiden Markram, after getting his opening spot back, is looking in good touch. The South African batter is only five runs shy of his first fifty of the season. Shivang Kumar, coming in to bowl the eighth over, conceded 10 runs as he was hit for a four by Markram.

Harshal Patel came into the attack right after the power play. The medium pacer started economically, giving away only four runs as he used multiple off-pace delivery variations.

A huge over for the Super Giants. LSG ended the power play on a strong note, scoring 15 runs in the sixth over, bowled by Jaydev Unadkat. Aiden Markram hit a couple of boundaries before finishing the over with a six on the final ball. 

Eshan Malinga has provided the crucial breakthrough for the Sunrisers Hyderabad. The Sri Lankan pacer dismissed Mitchell Marsh in the fifth over. Rishabh Pant after opening the innings in the previous game came to bat at number three today.

Jyadev Unadkat replaced Nitish Kumar Reddy in the attack. The left-arm pacer gave away 10 runs in his first over as he was clubbed for a six by Aiden Markram.

The runs have now started to flow from both ends. After an economical start to his spell, Harsh Dubey was struck for a four in the third over that went for eight runs. The Super Giants have done well to start without losing a wicket in the opening three overs. 

After a quiet first over, the batters from Lucknow Super Giants have found their way into the clash. Aiden Markram hit a couple of fours before Mitchell Marsh ended the over with another boundary. Nitish Kumar Reddy conceded 14 runs in the second over. 

A strong start for Sunrisers Hyderabad as Harsh Dubey gives away only two runs in his first over. Both Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram are off the mark. 

Lucknow Super Giants have returned to their opening duo from the previous season as Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram stride out to bat first. For SRH it is left-arm spinner, Harsh Dubey who is taking the new ball.

Sunrisers Hyderabad have huffed and puffed their way to 156 for 9 after 20 overs. Heinrich Klaasen and Nitish Reddy scored half-centuries to power their side to a total with which they can fight.

Aniket Verma is the new batter. Nitish Reddy falls after scoring 56 off 32 balls, which has brought SRH back into the game. At one stage, SRH didn’t look like crossing 100. They are very close to finishing at 150 now. 

The partnership between Nitish Reddy and Heinrich Klaasen is continuing to hurt LSG. They are just dealing in boundaries and sixes. This is an excellent counter-attack from both of them. 

11 overs are completed as Sunrisers Hyderabad batters have finally started to play some shots to break the deadlock created by LSG bowlers. Klaasen and Reddy are looking to find boundaries as they are capable enough to up the run-rate.

SRH are completely losing the plot here. Rishabh Pant has been spot on with his decision to bowl first. Digvesh Rathi ends Liam Livingstone’s misery here. Rishabh Pant took a brilliant catch. LSG 27/4 (7.3)

Prince Yadav has uprooted the stumps of one of the most in-form batters in the last couple of months. Ishan Kishan has been bamboozled with a lovely inswinger. This pitch is helping pacers just a bit. SRH 11/3 (4)

Travis Head bites the dust. Mohammed Shami deceives him with a slower one. Head got caught on the crease as Markram took another great catch. Mohammed Shami on a hat-trick. Liam Livingstone is on strike, and he lets it go. SRH 9/2 (2.2)

Big wicket! Huge wicket for LSG. Sunrisers Hyderabad lose an early wicket in the form of Abhishek Sharma. Mohammed Shami bowled a slower ball as Abhishek fell right into the trap. M. Siddharth took a brilliant catch at slip. SRH 6/1 (1.3)

“Very happy, always good to be in front of the home crowd. Two changes – Livingstone and Harshal Patel come in. Harshal has always done well here, Livi will give us some off-spin. Decision-making is the most important, try well and execute your plans. It’s important to get two points, but we need to be calm and take one match at a time.”

Rishabh Pant – We’ll bowl first. The wicket is good, let them bat first, and we will put them under pressure in the second innings. It’s not a new challenge, but this is one team that can hurt us. Looks like a good wicket for sure, but there’s something in it, the ball might stick after the first 6 overs. Just one change, Manimaran Siddarth is in, Nortje is out.

Lucknow Super Giants won the toss and elected to bowl first against Sunrisers Hyderabad. There are clouds near the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.

It will be interesting to see if the team winning the toss elects to bat or bowl first. As per the pitch report, the pitch is expected to stay even with hardly any deterioration. 

The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium has been a batting paradise ever since the new strategy of ‘going for a 250-plus score every match’ was adopted by SRH. It will be interesting to see if LSG has the firepower in their bowling to stop SRH’s fiery line-up.

Will there be some grip for spinners in the surface by the virtue of being an afternoon game? Only time well tell!

It will be a sight to behold when two of the younger captains – Ishan Kishan and Rishabh Pant – battle it out against each other in an effort to outwit each other. Both teams possess one of the most fearless batting line-ups among all other sides. As far as bowling is concerned, there is a lot left to be desired!
