On Thursday, March 27, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) defeated SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) by a margin of five wickets, earning them their first IPL 2025 victory. The match took place in Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
Travis Head (47), Nitish Kumar Reddy (32), Heinrich Klaasen (26), and Aniket Verma (36), who were asked to bat first, helped SRH reach 190/9 in 20 overs. With four wickets, Shardul Thakur was the best bowler for LSG, thwarting the home team’s hopes of amassing a huge first-innings score.

The Super Giants reached 193/5 in 16.1 overs during their match when Mitchell Marsh (52) combined with other batters to earn their first points in IPL 2025 points table.

— Silly Point (@FarziCricketer) March 27, 2025“‘We Needed Someone to Bat Through Like Ishan’ – SRH Captain Pat Cummins After Loss to LSG
SRH captain Pat Cummins offered the following reflection on the defeat against LSG in the seventh IPL 2025 match during the post-match presentation:
“Looked a different wicket the other day, the key is coming up with different plans each day but credit to them, they batted really well. Still a very good wicket. This was perhaps the second best wicket, the cutters gripped a bit on the surface, every time it’s a fresh game. They bowled really well, they had their plans. We were unlucky with Klaasen and Ishan.”
Pat Cummins
He continued:
“We missed one person batting out the full innings like Ishan did the other day but we did well to get to 190. It’s about playing it how it sees. Want impact from every batter, going out there and having impact on the game is key. You see things the way where we could have done better, bit like last game where you don’t get too high. We will get another chance in a few days.”

On Friday, March 28, the action in the IPL 2025 will move south to Chennai, where the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) will play the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) at the Chepauk Stadium.
