In Match 10 of the Indian Premier League 2026, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) secured a hard-fought 5-wicket victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on 5 April 2026 on the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. In a match that swung dramatically between dominance and desperation, LSG’s ability to stay calm under pressure eventually proved to be the difference.
While the early exchanges suggested a one-sided affair, the sport evolved right into a tactical battle that required a captain’s masterclass to resolve. Batting first, Sunrisers Hyderabad endured a nightmare start that silenced the house crowd. The pace and precision of Mohammed Shami tore through the SRH top order, removing the harmful Abhishek Sharma for a duck and Travis Head for just 7.

Heinrich Klaasen played a superb, counter-attacking innings of 62 off 41 balls, finding a super partner in Nitish Kumar Reddy, who smashed 56 off 33 balls.
Their massive 116-run partnership for the fifth wicket rescued the innings, propelling SRH to a competitive total of 156/9 of their 20 overs. LSG’s bowling attack was led by a vintage performance from Mohammed Shami, who finished with remarkable figures of 2/9 in his 4 overs, effectively stifling SRH’s momentum.
He was well supported by Prince Yadav and Avesh Khan, who picked up two wickets each. In response, LSG’s chase began with intent as Aiden Markram took the attack to his former team, scoring a quickfire 45 off 27 balls. The true turning point, nevertheless, got here through the leadership of Captain Rishabh Pant.

Pant’s Unbeaten 68 Leads LSG to Victory Over SRH
After the autumn of quick wickets, including Nicholas Pooran for just 1, Pant took full control of the chase. He played a mature, unbeaten innings of 68 off 50 balls*, eschewing his trademark high-risk shots for calculated aggression. His ability to anchor the innings ensured that LSG never lost their grip on the required rate.
Supported briefly by Abdul Samad, Pant guided his side to 160/5, sealing the win with only one ball to spare. Overall, Shami’s opening burst and Pant’s composed finish earned LSG two vital points, while SRH was left to rue a top-order collapse that their middle-order heroics couldn’t quite overcome.
