Shami, Pant help Lucknow beat Hyderabad in nervy IPL clash
- Lucknow Super Giants beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by five wickets on Sunday at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, securing their first win of the season. Skipper Rishabh Pant anchored the chase with an unbeaten 68 off 50 balls.
- Pacer Mohammed Shami restricted Sunrisers with figures of 2-9 in four overs, reducing them to 26-4 by stifling the top order. His opening spell dismissed Travis Head and Ishan Kishan early.
- Heinrich Klaasen and Nitish Reddy revived Hyderabad with a record fifth-wicket stand of 116 runs off 63 balls. The pair threw caution to the wind with "offense is the best defense" to help reach 156-9.
- Chasing the target, Lucknow finished at 160-5 in 19.5 overs to claim victory with one ball remaining. Opener Aiden Markram contributed 45 runs to support Pant's unbeaten innings.
- This result marks Hyderabad's second loss in three games this season, though the middle-order partnership provided a competitive total that tested the Super Giants until the final ball.
