Lucknow Super Giants edged Sunrisers Hyderabad by five wickets with one ball to spare in Match 10 of IPL 2026 at Hyderabad, completing the chase of 157 in 19.5 overs.

Rishabh Pant remained unbeaten on 68 off 50 balls with nine fours, anchoring the innings after Aiden Markram’s 45 off 27 had given the chase early shape. LSG reached 160/5 at 8.06 runs per over, with Abdul Samad’s 16 off 12 proving a useful late contribution as the equation narrowed to a controlled finish.

The result was set up earlier by a sharp bowling display that kept Sunrisers Hyderabad to 156/9. Mohammed Shami’s 2 for 9 in four overs at an economy of 2.25 reduced SRH to 8/2 and then 11/3, before Liam Livingstone’s dismissal left them 26/4 in 7.1 overs.

From there, Heinrich Klaasen’s 62 off 41 and Nitish Kumar Reddy’s 56 off 33 rebuilt the innings with a 116-run stand for the fifth wicket, lifting the scoring rate back to 7.80. The satire remained in the numbers: a side built for launch mode spent its first seven overs looking like it had misplaced the ignition key.

SRH did create brief pressure in the chase. Harsh Dubey’s 2 for 18 and Shivang Kumar’s wicket of Markram brought LSG from 77/1 to 105/4, including the run-out of Nicholas Pooran for 1. But Pant’s fifty off 43 balls ensured the chase never tilted away. LSG crossed 100 in 11.6 overs and 150 in 19.1, leaving only seven to get from the final over. Mukul Choudhary stayed with his captain till the end as LSG sealed the two points.

The straight-face takeaway stayed brutally statistical: SRH’s top four made 22, Klaasen and Nitish made 118, and Pant alone made sure that difference never became enough.
