Lucknow Super Giants beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 5 wickets with one ball remaining in Match 10 of the Indian Premier League, with Mohammed Shami setting up the result through a superb 2 for 9 from four overs. Rishabh Pant then anchored the chase with 68 off 50 balls after Aiden Markram’s brisk 45 had given LSG early momentum.

The result extended the early-season churn in the IPL rather than establishing any clear leader. Through the first 10 matches, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Mumbai Indians, Rajasthan Royals, Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals, Sunrisers Hyderabad and now Lucknow Super Giants have all registered wins, underlining how open the competition remains. Earlier results had seen SRH win Match 6 by 65 runs, but this time they were reeled in by an LSG side that handled the chase more calmly in the closing overs.

SRH’s innings never fully recovered from a bruising start. Travis Head made 7 from 8 balls, Abhishek Sharma fell for 0, and Ishan Kishan managed just 1, leaving the innings under pressure almost immediately. Shami was the chief architect of that squeeze, returning 2 for 9 in four overs and conceding at just 2.25 an over, a match-defining spell in a T20 contest.

From there, Heinrich Klaasen and Nitish Kumar Reddy rebuilt with the innings’ defining stand. Klaasen struck 62 from 41 balls, hitting five fours and two sixes, while Nitish Kumar Reddy counterattacked with 56 from 33, including three fours and five sixes. Their resistance lifted SRH to something defendable, but the total of 156 for 9 still felt a touch short on a night when wickets in hand mattered.

LSG’s support bowlers ensured SRH never broke free at the death. Prince Yadav finished with 2 for 34, Avesh Khan claimed 2 for 36, and Manimaran Siddharth chipped in with 1 for 29. Digvesh Rathi’s 1 for 46 was expensive, but the damage had already been limited by Shami’s new-ball spell and the interruptions that followed.

In reply, Markram’s 45 from 27 balls gave LSG the sort of start SRH could not manage. He struck six fours and two sixes, and alongside Mitchell Marsh’s 14 from 12, kept the asking rate under control. Even when wickets fell, LSG had enough of a base to keep the chase on course.

Pant played the central hand. His 68 from 50 balls featured nine fours and no sixes, an innings built more on placement and tempo than brute force. He was supported by Ayush Badoni’s 12 from 9 and Abdul Samad’s 16 from 12, and although Nicholas Pooran made just 1 from 4, LSG still got home at 160 for 5 in 19.5 overs.

SRH did have moments with the ball. Harsh Dubey was outstanding with 2 for 18 in four overs, while Eshan Malinga and Shivang Kumar took one wicket each. Harshal Patel’s 0 for 16 from three overs also kept things tight for a period, but Jaydev Unadkat’s 0 for 50 in 3.5 overs proved costly in a chase settled on the final ball of the over before the last.

The match turned on two phases: Shami’s opening spell that left SRH’s top order in disarray, and the composed middle-overs partnership building led by Markram and Pant that stopped the chase from drifting. Once Pant batted deep, LSG were always one clean finish away from taking the points.
