SRH Vs LSG LIVE Score, IPL 2026: Pant Keeps Chase On Track; Nicholas Pooran Stumped By Ishan Kishan | LSG 114/4 (15)

A moment of madness and Sunrisers Hyderabad now strongly believe they can make a comeback in the game. They had very low chances as long as Nicholas Pooran was out there on the crease. But he played a tentative prode to Shivang Kumar and set off for a non-existing run, not realising where the ball went. It was right under the legs of Ishan Kishan, who picked up and broke the stumps. Pant is still out there on the crease along with Abdul Samad and is looking to take the game deep.

Everytime it looks that Lucknow Super Giants are running away with the game, Sunrisers Hyderabad strike and keep the match on. Ayush Badoni steps out to take on Harsh Dubey and gets yorked by the length and misses it. Ishan Kishan takes off the bail with ease. In the previous over, Rishabh Pant finally capitalised on the mistakes of Shivang Kumar, hitting him for back-to-back fours. SRH are behind in the game but still alive.

Aiden Markram was running away with the game and it is Shivang Kumar who provided the much-needed breakthrough. Markram didn't pick his wrong one and wanted to go over the bowler's head just by the length. Got a poor connection on the ball and the long-off fielder settled to take a good catch. SRH will hope they can slow down LSG's scoring rate given they have only a little reserve to defend.

Lucknow Super Giants are well on course during the chase as they keep the asking rate in control. Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh have provided their team brisk start and now with Rishabh Pant anchoring the innings from the other end, Markram can keep an aggressive approach. Th target is not big and if they can keep the innings in control, they will get over the finishing line with ease.

Lucknow Super Giants have dominated the powerplay riding on their openers Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh. Both of them have found boundaries on frequent occasions and have kept the scoring rate. Where SRH scored 35 in the first ten overs, LSG have scored 57 only in the powerplay. Marsh although, got dismissed in the over of Eshan Malinga, finding the fielder deep towards square leg. Aiden Markram bossed the last over of the powerplay, smashing Jaydev Unadkat to all parts of the ground.

Lucknow Super Giants have dropped the idea of opening the innings with RIshabh Pant and have reinstated Aiden Markram at the top with Mitchell Marsh. The duo, well acquainted with each other, have helped LSG get off to a fast start in the first two overs. SRH have to pull things back to have a chance.

That's a sorry end to the SRH innings! Cruising at 142/4, they end up with 156/9 with five wickets along the way. Superb comeback by the LSG bowlers, bowling tight lines and not giving anything away. We'll be back for the run-chase shortly.

SunRisers' innings are on the verge of a disastrous collapse, with three wickets in the last twelve deliveries. Klaasen and Nitish Kumar Reddy were dismissed with Avesh Khan delivering the wicket of Harsh Dubey.

SRH: 146/7 (19)

Both Klaasen and Reddy smash half-centuries but the current run-rate still remains an issue. With just 3 more overs to go, how much more can the duo score?

SRH: 134/4 (17)

Decent recovery so far from Heinrich Klaasen and Nitish Kumar Reddy as the due approach their fifties, but the current run-rate of 7.79 will not be enough if they are to post anything above 160-170.

Local boy Nitish Kumar Reddy has taken things on his own hands as he is rebuidling the innings along with Heinrich Klaasen, who is at 20 off 19.

SRH: 73/4 (13)

Rishabh Pant, what a catch! Acrobatic effort from the wicket-keeper to dismiss Liam Livingstone for just 14. Looking to exploit the slower, wide delivery, Livingstone committed early to a paddle sweep, but the sticky surface held the ball back.

This forced Pant into a spectacular athletic adjustment, despite initially moving left, the keeper changed direction mid-air to pluck a superb one-handed catch.

Lucknow Super Giants would feel that they had a better powerplay than the Sunrisers Hyderabad and why not? LSG gave away just 22 runs and extracted 3 important wickets of Abhishek Sharma, Travis Head and Ishan Kishan.

Responsibility entirely on Heinrich Klaasen and Liam Livingstone. Avesh Khan starts the middle overs.

What is happening here in Uppal? The home team is down to 3 and skipper Ishan Kishan becomes the latest to depart. Not an ideal start at all from the Orange Army. After Abhishek's departure, Travis Head became Mohammed Shami's 2nd scalp while Prince Yadav clean bowled Kishan for 1 off 4.

Shami strikes on his very second ball. It’s a massive early blow for the Orange Army as the dangerous Abhishek Sharma departs for a two-ball duck.

Lured by a clever slower delivery wide of off-stump, Abhishek went for a hard drive but only managed a thick outside edge. The ball looped toward short third man, where Manimaran Siddharth showcased sharp reflexes, diving to his right to claim a clean two-handed catch. LSG land the first blow.

The dangerous duo of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma are on the crease with Lucknow's veteran seamer Mohammed Shami starting the proceedings.

LSG captain Rishabh Pant won the toss and chose to bowl first. The North Indian outfit has made only one change in the form of Manimaran Siddarth coming in for Anrich Nortje.

The Sunrisers, on the other hand, make two changes - Harshal Patel and Liam Livingstone come in.

Total matches: 6

LSG wins: 4 (66.67% win percentage)

SRH wins: 2

"I've got to say, conditions a little overcast. That's probably very good for the players because it is an afternoon game after all. Now, looking at the surface, looks good to me. Looks beautiful as always here at this venue. A little bit dry, if we go down and have a look, I think it's a little bit dry, and considering it's a day game, I think runs on the board might be pretty important. Maybe it'll spin a little bit as the game goes on. I think it's high-scoring though, I think it's 200 plus and maybe it's a bat-first wicket today." - said Michael Clarke during the pitch report.

It was a blockbuster Saturday which featured this season's first double header. In the afternoon, the Delhi Capitals registered a convincing 6-wicket win against 5-time champions Mumbai Indians to pick up their 2nd consecutive victory.

In the evening, the Rajasthan Royals followed suit, beating the Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in a nail biter by just 6 runs.

Rajasthan (1st) and Delhi (2nd) find themselves in the top 2 of the IPL table.

Lucknow Super Giants have had a difficult start to their IPL 2026 season, currently searching for their first win after two matches.

Their campaign began with a tough 6-wicket loss against Delhi Capitals. Despite a solid effort from Mitchell Marsh (35) and Abdul Samad (36), the LSG batting lineup struggled against Delhi's pace, managing only 141/10.

Sunrisers Hyderabad has had a mixed start to their IPL 2026 campaign, with one win and one loss. In their season opener, SRH suffered a 6-wicket defeat against RCB despite posting a solid 201/9, as Jacob Duffy’s clinical bowling and a rapid Bengaluru chase overwhelmed them.

However, they bounced back spectacularly against KKR, securing a 65-run victory. Travis Head (46) and Abhishek Sharma (48) provided a masterclass at the top, while Heinrich Klaasen’s 52 pushed the total to a massive 226/8. Jaydev Unadkat (3/21) then led a disciplined bowling effort to bundle KKR out for 161.
