SRH vs LSG Live Score: Post-Match Presentation

Travis Head - Player of the Match: Lot of fun today. Nice to get this done in 10 overs. Abhi and I have had a few partnerships like this. Just concentrate on getting in good positions, watch the ball hard and try to maximise the powerplay. (On his spin hitting) It is something I have been working on, it will be a big part in the Caribbean as well. It is important to go 360 in the modern game. (On fearless cricket) The last 12 months, that's how they wanted me to play in the Aussie team, and that's what I've been told to do here as well. Nothing much that I have to change. (On Abhishek Sharma) I know how hard he works and how deep he thinks, his spin play is second to none. We compliment each other very well. Nice to see him back amongst the runs after missing out the last couple of game. (On NRR) We didn't think about it till the Timeout, but after that the boys came out and told us to score quickly. The crowd was exceptional tonight, that's what we needed after losing the last two. I haven't got many things over him, so that's good to know that I have more runs than David Warner did in his first SRH season. We start again whenever we come out here for the next game.

Pat Cummins - SRH Captain: (About the pitch) Maybe Travis and Abhishek did. We just let them go, they are two guys who are very positive and I'm a bowler, it is tough for me to give them any inputs. (About Travis Head) He's been like this for 2 years, he hits the tough areas, hits the middle a lot, might not be super conventional. (On Abhishek Sharma) Just an incredible player of spin and pace. With just 2 fielders out, it is really difficult for the bowlers against them. (On where the game is headed) I think the scores have gone up, and when the wickets are good, it is tough to come up with answers against batters when they get going. The boys have had a fantastic season, but to win this with less than 10 overs played in unreal.

SRH vs LSG Live Score: Record-Breaking 10-wicket win: Sunrisers Hyderabad crush LSG with 62 balls to spare

WHOA! We have seen something unreal, this is quite unbelievable! Head and Abhishek have re-written history, the pitch seemed to have eased up and got better to back on. The Sunrisers Hyderabad's opening duo dazzled with a barrage of sixes and fours propelling them to third place in the points table. Their commanding 10-wicket triumph over LSG, with a staggering 62 balls to spare, ranks among the league's most spectacular victories in history.

SRH vs LSG Live Score: Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma smash the ball to all corners in the powerplay

Sunrisers Hyderabad now faces the daunting task of mounting a formidable chase to surpass this target.

Stay tuned we'll be back with live-action soon!

SRH vs LSG Live Score: Ayush Badoni and Nicolas Pooran's partnership leads LSG's charge

Ayush Badoni: 39

Nicolas Pooran: 30

SRH vs LSG Live Score: LSG in deep trouble as KL Rahul throws his wicket away followed by Krunal getting run out

Lucknow Super Giants are in all sorts of trouble as skipper KL Rahul departs hastily, swiftly followed by Krunal's unfortunate run-out. Now, it's up to Nicolas Pooran and Ayush Badoni to orchestrate a comeback and propel LSG to a commendable total.

LSG: 73/4 in 13 overs

Ayush Badoni - 3 

Nicolas Pooran - 11

SRH vs LSG Live Score: Strategic Time Out - KL Rahul and Krunal Pandya fight back for the Lucknow Super Giants

It's time for the strategic time out, LSG were in deep trouble but Krunal Pandya and skipper KL Rahul have fought back well, Krunal took the attack against spin and has managed to change the momentum of the game. The pitch is sluggish and is gripping a lot. Elevating Krunal Pandya to the fourth position has turned out to be the right decision for LSG so far.

LSG: 45/2 after 8 over

KL Rahul: 20

Krunal Pandya: 19

SRH vs LSG Live Score: Bhuvneshwar Kumar strikes early, dismiss QDK

Lucknow Super Giants got off to a sedate start in the first over and ended up losing their first wicket in the 2nd over. Bhuvnehswar Kumar gets an early scalp and sends de Kock back to the dressing room. Nitish Reddy takes a brilliant catch at the boundary line, his star just keeps on rising, everything he touches season turns into gold! KL Rahul needs to play an anchor role from here to take LSG to a formidable first innings total.

SRH vs LSG Live Score and Updates: Pitch report by Matthew Hayden and Sanjay Manjrekar:

"We are in Hyderabad and once more we are on pitch number 2 where 277 was scored. It has its own stardom. Boundary dimensions - there's some good news for the bowlers as it is the centre pitch, 60-odd meters on either side and a pitch that the spinners won't mind bowling. It feels like walking into a clay oven today. (The pitch) Extremely hard, really dry and you can feel the heat, still hot to touch. It has opened up tiny little cracks. I would be surprised if it is a record breaking total type this evening. It is probably a 200 wicket, very fast outfield and not a lot of dew. The fast bowlers will use their cutters especially in the middle phase of the match. I believe whoever wins the toss would look to set the total"

SRH vs LSG Live Score and Updates: Captains interviews at the toss

KL Rahul (LSG Skipper): We will bat first. That plus a couple of games that have been played here. It is hard to complete forget how important this game for both the sides, but we have played enough cricket. We will focus one thing at a time, bat first and put up the runs on the board. Playing at home becomes a difference, but we play so much cricket that we know how the conditions will be. Quinton comes in, Mohsin misses out and there are a few other changes.

Pat Cummins (SRH Skipper): Thank You. My body feels 31. We would have batted as well. But we have won both ways here and not too upset. Hard to know as it has been pretty high scoring. It is pretty tough and you have to keep winning till the end, we have not nailed it in the last couple of games and it is time to change that. We have a couple of changes - Sanvir comes in for Agarwal and Viyaskanth makes his debut and replaces Marco.

SRH began the season impressively, showcasing a bold batting approach that led to early victories. However, recent form has been less consistent, with struggles evident in batting performances. While the bowling unit, led by Pat Cummins, has shown resilience, the team needs to rejuvenate its batting lineup to maintain momentum.
