Luchnow Super Giants (:SG) faced a crushing five-wicket defeat by Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 7th match of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. The match had begun with taking SRH’s side, and progressed going to to be a strong clash as they posted a total of 190 on board.
The second inning saw batting from Nicholas Pooran, who hitted SRH bowlers across the stadium and scoring 70 runs in just 26 balls. Meanwhile, SRH captain Pat Cummins ruled this loss on the pitch, and stated that it was a different wicket as compared to when SRH posted the second-highest total in the history of IPL.
“It was a different wicket the other day, but we had to score quickly. They batted really well though. Still a very good wicket, that was the best wicket in the world, this was the second-best wicket. It gripped a little bit, but it was a nice wicket. Every time it’s a fresh game, they bowled really well, it was very well planned,” Cummins said in the post-match presentation.
“ It was a pretty good effort to get to 190. You always need one person to bat throughout the innings, like Ishan (Kishan) did the other day, but they bowled really well, never let us off the hook. We got 8 batters, it’s about going out there and making an impact. You see things you could have done better, that could have been the difference. It’s a long competition, we will get a chance pretty quickly, so we need to move on,” he added.
LSG have recovered from a heartbreaking loss against Delhi Capitals, as they registered a dominative win over SRH, and will now face Punjab Kings (PBKS) on April 1. On the other hand, SRH will gave DC on March 30.
