Sunrisers Hyderabad welcome Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2026 match number 10
After losing their IPL opener against RCB, SRH won their 2nd match against KKR
LSG suffered an embarrassing defeat against Delhi Capitals in their opener
The competition is intensifying in the 2026 Indian Premier League season as this weekend's first match-up brings a contest between 2016 champions Sunrisers Hyderabad taking on Rishabh Pant's under pressure Lucknow Super Giants.
The second match of the weekend's double header features the reigning champions Royal Challengers Bengaluru versus 5-time winners Chennai Super Kings at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Lucknow Super Giants had suffered a clinical 6-wicket defeat against Delhi Capitals at the Ekana Stadium. LSG struggled to find momentum on a tricky red-soil surface at home.
Mitchell Marsh top-scored with a brisk 35, while Abdul Samad contributed a vital 36, but consistent wickets from Lungi Ngidi (3/27) and T. Natarajan (3/29) restricted them to a modest 141/10.
Defending a low total, Mohammed Shami provided an electrifying start on his franchise debut by dismissing KL Rahul for a golden duck on the very first ball.
However, an unbeaten 119-run partnership between Sameer Rizvi (70)* and Tristan Stubbs (39*) snatched the game away. Rizvi’s aggressive half-century ensured Delhi reached the target of 145/4 with 17 balls to spare, leaving LSG to regroup after their opening loss.
The Sunrisers Hyderabad secured a dominant 65-run victory over Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens. The Orange Army posted a massive 226/8, fueled by an explosive opening stand between Travis Head (46) and Abhishek Sharma (48).
Heinrich Klaasen anchored the middle order with 52, while Nitish Kumar Reddy provided a late cameo.
Defending the total, SRH's bowlers were clinical. Jaydev Unadkat led the pack with 3 wickets, while Reddy chipped in with 2/17. KKR was eventually bundled out for 161 in 16 overs, giving SRH their first points of the 2026 season after losing their opener against RCB.
