It was a do-or-die match for Lucknow Super Giants and a "nothing-to-lose" for Sunrisers Hyderabad. A match full of dropped catches from Hyderabad itself, went in favor of the team itself. Kudos to Abhishek Sharma's half-century and crucial contributions in the middle. And what did Digvesh Rathi's team finally write in their notebook? An elimination "E" after their their name as Lucknow Super Giants lost to Sunrisers by 6 wickets Lucknow Super Giants put up a commanding total of 205/7 in their 20 overs, riding on blazing half-centuries from Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram. Marsh was the standout performer, smashing 65 off 39 balls at a strike rate of 166.66, including six boundaries and four sixes. Markram complemented him brilliantly, scoring 61 off 38 balls with equal aggression, striking four fours and four maximums at 160.52. The opening duo powered LSG to 115/1 by the 11th over, setting up a strong platform. However, a flurry of wickets in the death overs slowed the momentum. Nicholas Pooran added late impetus with a rapid 45 off 26 (6 fours, 1 six), before being run out in the penultimate over. Among bowlers, Eshan Malinga impressed with 2/28 in his 4 overs, maintaining an economy of 7.00. Harshal Patel and Harsh Dubey picked up one wicket each but went for over 11 runs per over. Nitish Kumar Reddy was expensive but managed a key wicket. Despite losing 5 wickets between overs 15.4 and 19.5, LSG crossed the 200-mark, giving themselves a solid chance.
