Abhishek Sharma to begin proceedings with his left-arm spin. Mitchell Marsh off the mark with a single. Markram takes a quick single and was gone had it been a direct hit. A very good over.
Sunrisers Hyderabad new recruit Aniket Verma smashed 36 off 13 balls during an IPL 2025 match against Lucknow Super Giants in Hyderabad on Thursday.
Avesh with his final over. Harshal picks up a single off his first. Simarjeet looks to go big but mistimes one straight back at the bowler. The ricochet helps him pick one. Blockhole delivery, hit down the ground for a single. Harshal looks to go down the ground against the full wide ball. Doesn’t get enough contact, and will get only a couple. Seven runs from the final over.
Shardul with a full toss to start the over, slapped to deep cover for one. WICKET!! Shami takes a swipe at a slower, wide one. Hits it straight to short extra cover. No fireworks from him tonight.

Prince for his third. SRH hasn’t found a lot of boundaries lately. Isn’t the flattest pitch in Hyderabad. Half volley outside off, Klaasen plays a lofted drive and umpires will check whether it’s a six or a four. Four it is. OUT! Klaasen is gone. Nitish hits it straight and the ball hits Prince’s hand and crashes into the non strikers’ stumps when Klaasen was out of the crease. Prince has hurt his hand though. Klaasen falls for 26 off 17 balls.
Bishnoi is back. Reddy goes for a reverse sweep, gets beaten and hit on the pad. A huge appeal, but umpires give it not out. Lucknow reviews. Wicket umpires call, Nitish survives. Half tracker, Klaasen slaps the ball straight for four. Seven runs from the over.
Prince again. He’s bowling well, keeping it full and straight; mixing his pace as well. Two wides in a row now: first a bouncer and then too wide outside off. Terrific over, just seven runs off it.
Digvesh again. Klaasen goes on one knee, clears his leg and slog sweeps way over the midwicket boundary for a six. Another nine-run over for SRH.
Prince Yadav into the attack. He’s welcomed with a four by Nitish. Flicked off the thigh pad towards square leg. OUT! Head is gone. Full and straight, Head goes for a slog and misses it. Both off and middle stump are uprooted. Big fish is gone for 47 off 28 balls.
Heinrich Klaasen at the crease. He’s off the mark with a double. Full toss but he only gets a single towards long on.
Digvesh. Sloppy fielding leads to three runs off the first ball. Misfield by short fine leg fielder and then an overthrow. Head cuts away behind point for four. Digvesh bowls another pretty good over, concedes nine runs.
Ravi Bishnoi into the attack. Head is dropped!!! Tries to slog sweep, top edges it towards long on and Pooran there in the deep drops it. Half tracker now and Head smacks it over off side boundary for a six. Bishnoi might have hurt his finger and he’s getting a quick treatment. Another missed chance! Head smacks the ball straight, Bishnoi stretches his right hand but couldn’t grab it. Eight runs from the over.
Digvesh Rathi into the attack. A front-foot no-ball from the spinner. Nitish miscues the free hit and it falls well short of long on. Short and wide, Head lofts it through wide mid off. A good effort from Markram in the deep prevents a boundary. Another good stop from Miller at short midwicket. Nine from the over.
Avesh with his second. Six!! Not too full, but the perfect length for Head to loft over wide mid on for six! Full and wide yorker, jammed to cover for a single. Back of a length to Nitish, clubbed down the ground. Not the best timing and he’ll only get a single. Six!! Full and wide, lofted over cover for another six! Four!! Length ball, but too wide, Head happily lofts it over the infield for another four.
WICKET!! Shardul goes short, Abhishek pulls it through the legside but finds the fielder at deep square leg.

SRH 27/2 in 3 overs

Abhishek slashes hard at one, falls short of the man at deep third. Yorker length outside off, Head gets an underage that trickles through to the keeper. Four!! Short ball outside off, pulled past mid on for a boundary.
Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma walk out into the middle. Shardul Thakur with the new ball in hand.
Full and wide of off, Head creams the cover drive but can’t clear the man in the infield. Full, but straighter this time, punched to mid on. Four!! Full again, lofted over Shardul’s head for the first boundary of the game. Low full toss, cut straight to backward point. Another full toss, carved to deep point for a single. Short and wide, swatted to cover for a single.

LSG wins the toss and opts to bowl first.
“We will try to get them out as early as possible and chase the target. When the other team is scoring 24-250, you know the pitch is favourable to chase. Doesn’t matter how much they score,” says Pant.
Avesh Khan replaces Shahbaz Ahmed for LSG. Abdul Samad too gets a game.
“Its about recalibrating your expectation as bowlers. An over of 11 or 12 could be game changing in the middle. Same team as the previous game,” says Pat Cummins.

The Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) viewing experience is a lot like watching one of the films from the Mad Max universe. There’s an almost dystopian feel to the brand of cricket the franchise has championed since last season.
Against Rajasthan Royals in its opener, SRH followed the script down to a T. Ishan Kishan’s statement ton on SRH debut did the unthinkable — overshadowing Travis Head in a T20 game.
That said, the other teams are catching up. Chasing a mammoth 287, the Royals gave Pat Cummins’ men a scare before falling short by 44 runs.
On the other hand, Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) — despite scoring 208 in its opener against Delhi Capitals (DC) — couldn’t get across the line. Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran’s ballistics for LSG went in vain after a blitz from Ashutosh Sharma in the final five overs helped DC clinch the win.
Rishabh Pant’s men need to regroup quickly ahead of the clash with SRH on the flat tracks at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Thursday.
