SRH vs LSG IPL 2025 Match 61 Highlights: Sunrisers Hyderabad Crush Lucknow Super Giants by 6 Wickets to Stay in Playoff Hunt

SRH vs LSG IPL 2025 Match 61 Highlights: Sunrisers Hyderabad Clinch Decisive Win to Knock Out Lucknow

In a high-stakes IPL 2025 Match 61, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) delivered a knockout blow to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), registering a convincing 6-wicket win with 10 balls to spare and boosting their playoff prospects at a crucial juncture.

SRH’s Explosive Chase Led by Abhishek Sharma

Chasing a daunting 206, SRH started confidently with Taide opening, but the true star was Abhishek Sharma. He set the pace with a breathtaking half-century off just 18 balls, including four consecutive sixes off Ravi Bishnoi. This initial onslaught deflated LSG’s bowling attack and made the rest of the chase a formality for SRH.

Ishan Kishan played a steady hand, and with contributions from Henrich Klassen and Kamindu Mendis (before leaving the pitch due to injury), SRH made light work of the target. The remaining runs were smoothly taken care of, even as Klassen fell and Mendis retired hurt.

LSG’s best bowling effort came from Digvesh Singh, who claimed the key wickets of Abhishek and Kishan, but lacked support from the other end as SRH cruised to victory.

LSG’s Strong Start Falters Late

Earlier, LSG’s openers provided a flying start, notching a 115-run stand in just over 10 overs, with superstar Marsh scoring 65 off 39. However, debutant Harsh Dubey broke the partnership and SRH’s attack tightened in the death overs. Markram fell for 61, and despite a late surge from Nicholas Pooran, LSG managed 205/7.

SL pacer Ehsan Malinga starred with 2/28, while Harshal Patel notably struggled, conceding expensive no-balls and wides during the crucial final phase.

IPL 2025 Playoff Race Intensifies

This result ends LSG’s playoff hopes and puts pressure on teams like Mumbai Indians and Delhi Capitals who are next in line. Their head-to-head clash will be another virtual eliminator, keeping fans on the edge of their seats as IPL 2025’s race to the playoffs heats up.
