IPL 2025: SRH vs LSG, Match 7 – Full highlights, top moments & winner details

On Thursday, March 27, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Match 7 of the Indian Premier League’s 2025 season.

After playing a fast knock, Travis Head came within three runs of reaching his half-century, but Nitish Kumar Reddy struggled to get going when he came to bat following the quick dismissals of Ishan Kishan and Abhishek Sharma. Heinrich Klaasen had a strange run-out and was unable to make much of a contribution either.

A promising stay at the crease was not extended by Aniket Verma, who stepped in and hit five maximums in his 13-ball stay. After Pat Cummins’ late push, SRH finished with 190 points. The most notable bowler was Shardul Thakur. His final figures were 4/34.

Early in the chase, Aiden Markram was taken off the pitch. But with their individual half-centuries, Mitchell Marsh and Nicholas Pooran accelerated the innings and tipped the scales in the tourists’ favour. For the second consecutive game, captain Rishabh Pant was unable to make a significant impact.

The unbeaten hitters on the crease to lead their team to victory were Abdul Samad and David Miller. The hosts were unsuccessful in their attempt to use Adam Zampa as an Impact Player. After giving up 46 runs in four overs, the leg-spinner proved to be fairly costly.

Key Moments from Match 7 of IPL 2025

1. Shardul rocks SRH by dismissing Abhishek, Kishan off successive balls

The first two deliveries of Shardul’s second over saw the back of Abhishek and then Kishan. Both the dismissals were caught – Abhishek at deep square leg and Kishan by the wicketkeeper. The two blows ultimately turned out to be significant events as far as the grand scheme of things are concerned.

3. Pooran’s turbo-charged knock blows SRH away
