Match preview & overview
Lucknow Super Giants chase 191 to beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 5 wickets
Lucknow Super Giants chased down 191 to beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 5 wickets at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on 27 March 2025. Lucknow won the toss and chose to field, then answered SRH's total of 190/9 with a composed chase that was largely decided in the powerplay. A first-six-overs return of 77/1 gave LSG a platform well above the ground's historical average, and they rarely looked troubled after that. Shardul Thakur was named Player of the Match as Lucknow completed a five-wicket win with runs to spare.
Sunrisers Hyderabad had shown early promise in their innings, hitting 62/2 in the powerplay and adding 81 runs across the middle overs. The collapse in the death phase, four wickets falling for 47 runs, left them on 190/9: a competitive score at any other ground, but fractionally below the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium's average first-innings total of 192 across 104 IPL matches. On a surface that tends to hold up for batting, that small shortfall proved significant.
The result extends Lucknow Super Giants' head-to-head lead to five wins from seven meetings. Three of LSG's five victories in this fixture have now come at Hyderabad, and this chase reinforced a pattern that is becoming difficult for SRH to ignore on home soil.

Betting & analytical angles
Angles the data surfaced
- Top batter markets may reflect the fact that both sides produced contributions spread across the order rather than one dominant innings, making individual performance lines potentially more open than usual.
- The venue's 54 per cent chase success rate across 104 matches is worth bearing in mind for outright result markets in future fixtures here, as the ground historically does not strongly favour first-innings totals.
- LSG's powerplay scoring rate of 77/1 was almost double the ground's average of 43 powerplay runs. In-play powerplay markets at this venue can move quickly when conditions are favourable for batting.
- SRH's final score of 190/9 fell marginally below the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium's average first-innings total of 192 across 104 matches, which may be relevant context for total-runs markets in future games at this ground.
