Lucknow Super Giants put up a stunning performance to beat Sunrisers Hyderabad in the tenth match of Indian Premier League 2026. This match was played at the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium in Hyderabad and Sunrisers Hyderabad were put into bat first. Mohammad Shami delivered a terrific new ball spell picking up two wickets while Prince Yadav and Digvesh Rathi supported him as SRH were reduced to 26/4 in seven overs. Sunrisers Hyderabad were under immense pressure with 35/4 at the ten over mark. Nitish Kumar Reddy and Heinrich Klassen stitched up a partnership and batted with great tempo to take Sunrisers Hyderabad past the 150 mark. Both batters smashed half centuries as SRH finished with 156/9 at the end of the first innings. Lucknow Super Giants started the chase really well but a few wickets in the middle overs put the screws. Rishabh Pant took responsibility and played a fine knock along with Abdul Samad as Lucknow Super Giants chased down the target with six wickets spare.  

Aiden Markram: I actually think when we bowled in the new ball, probably better. I think in the first over again, I was looking for a boundary first and we started throwing a couple of bats right again. So the pitch came on relatively well and sort of packed your options and we worked out and yeah, we got had a decent toss and completed the chase. (on batting with Marsh) Yeah, look, the familiarity is obviously great. Um, it's been a couple of seasons together and um just sort of discussing what you feel comfortable doing on the wicket.

Ishan Kishan | SRH captain: I think the bowlers did an extremely good job today. They bowled according to the plan to the right areas, credit goes to the fielders as well for putting all the effort. But you know, one or two of boundaries in these kind of tournaments can go and let's take the match away. So yeah, but I'm happy with the way we fought this game. (good fightback with the bat) Yeah, I mean, because you know, I think losing four wickets early, you know, it gives pressure to other batsmen as well. So, I think, but still, I'll appreciate Klasee and Nitish for taking the total so deep. And I think like in a very good manner, like how it was needed. So yeah, credit goes to them. But yeah, we need to work on batting as well, given so many games where we all make it easier for our chasing team. Yeah, 100%. That was the plan, but you know, we got taking on singles, he was smart about it. And that is something, you know, you look for when you're chasing these kind of totals. But yeah, but we have to give credit to the batters as well because they know Rishabh played well. (on their bowling) Yeah, no, I think we were just taking or following a hunch at that point of time. We were looking for wickets and because those wickets, they bowled pretty well in those overs. So, it was our side. But you know, like I said, sometimes the margin is not so much. One or two boundaries will suddenly change the game and that's what happened in the 17th over, I guess, when we got so many boundaries, like two, three boundaries. But I think Harsh bowled exceptionally well and we want him to bowl in this kind of manner.

Rishabh Pant | LSG captain: Definitely, it's a big plus. You know, when you get this at the last and finish the game, definitely a good plus for us. (on their bowling) I think definitely. I think with bowlers, you know, you've got to appreciate and give them one because, you know, those are the people who set you up for the night, especially when you bowl first. I think Shami Bhai, Avesh, Rathi, I think everyone's contributed really well, especially Siddharth coming in today. You know, we decided as a ground that he's going to make up the play and he did really well for us. (on his talk to the team) We feel like, you know, only thing is there is never a perfect match. You know, you've got to be critical as a management, but at the same time, you've got to appreciate what's happening inside. I think the only conversation is, you know, looking to, you know, execute the plan rather than feeling that I can do all this. Trust your preparation and just take on the game. See, there's no tossing in because of this argument at the same time. You know, when you slack so well, like I said before, you've got to be critical, but at the same time, we are looking to learn as a team and get better every single match. (on his batting) You know, what has well is all well. You know, we always say that, but at the same time, you know, my focus personally, I've been preparing really well and giving my full commitment. You know, I just like to react to the tossing. I just don't want to talk about that. I've been with the team and my management. So, you know, working hard and that's all matters to me.

Mohammed Shami | Player of the Match (translated from Hindi): We are very happy because we had lost the previous match at home, so it was very important for us to win this match to build momentum. Once you get that start, the winning momentum continues. Look, if you want to perform at a good level, it’s very important to maintain your fitness. When you are on the field, you need to give that extra effort. So the idea is to keep yourself fit whenever you get the opportunity. Because of that, when the team wins, it brings you a lot of happiness. And when you win like this, it motivates you to keep winning more - it’s enjoyable. Having played for many years, that experience definitely helps. If we talk about someone like Mohammed Shami, he has that experience - skills develop over time, and understanding your weaknesses is also very important, especially as a specialist.

Lucknow Super Giants have one win and a loss in two matches. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad struggled at home today and they have one win and two losses in three matches this season. It was a spectacular match and the fans were thoroughly entertained.
