Shardul Thakur\u2019s four-wicket haul<\/strong> and an explosive innings<\/strong> from Nicholas Pooran<\/strong> powered Lucknow Super Giants (LSG)<\/strong> to a five-wicket victory<\/strong> over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH)<\/strong> in an IPL match on Thursday.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shardul, continuing his dream comeback,<\/strong> registered figures of 4\/34<\/strong> to help LSG restrict SRH to 190\/9.<\/strong> Later, Pooran\u2019s blazing 70 off just 26 balls (6x4s, 6x6s)<\/strong> helped LSG chase down the target in just 16.1 overs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pooran\u2019s Power-Hitting Leads the Chase<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

LSG had a shaky start, losing Aiden Markram early<\/strong>, but Mitchell Marsh (52 off 31) and Nicholas Pooran<\/strong> ensured a quick recovery<\/strong>. The duo added 116 runs for the second wicket<\/strong>, completely dominating SRH\u2019s bowling attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Pooran displayed breathtaking 360-degree hitting<\/strong>, smashing Simarjeet and Abhishek Sharma<\/strong> for huge sixes<\/strong> towards the square boundary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • He also took on Pat Cummins,<\/strong> hitting him for two boundaries in his first over, pushing LSG to 77\/1 in the powerplay.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Pooran reached his half-century in just 18 balls<\/strong>, making it the fastest fifty of this IPL season.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    His magnificent knock<\/strong> ended when Cummins trapped him LBW in the ninth over.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    After Pooran\u2019s dismissal, Marsh took charge<\/strong>, bringing up his 50 in just 29 balls<\/strong>. LSG skipper Rishabh Pant (15 off 15)<\/strong> didn\u2019t contribute much, but Abdul Samad\u2019s quick cameo<\/strong> ensured LSG got home comfortably.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Shardul Thakur Dismantles SRH Batting Lineup<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Earlier, opting to bowl first<\/strong>, Shardul Thakur (4\/34)<\/strong> gave LSG a fiery start by removing Abhishek Sharma<\/strong> and Ishan Kishan<\/strong> off consecutive balls in the third over.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Sharma fell to a short ball<\/strong>, while Ishan edged an innocuous delivery down the leg side.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Travis Head (47 off 28)<\/strong> counter-attacked, smashing Avesh Khan<\/strong> for two sixes and a four in the fourth over.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Head got two lifelines<\/strong> when Nicholas Pooran dropped<\/strong> a simple catch at long-on, and Ravi Bishnoi missed a return catch.<\/strong> However, his luck ran out when Prince Yadav bowled him for his first IPL wicket.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Heinrich Klaasen (26 off 17)<\/strong> was looking dangerous but got run out in an unfortunate manner<\/strong> when a Nitish Reddy straight drive ricocheted onto the stumps off Yadav\u2019s follow-through.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Young Aniket Verma (36 off 13)<\/strong> played a blistering cameo, smashing five sixes<\/strong>, before falling to leg-spinner Disvesh Rathi.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Skipper Pat Cummins (18 off 4)<\/strong> finished strong, hitting three sixes in his first three balls<\/strong> before departing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Match Summary<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        SRH:<\/strong> 190\/9 in 20 overs (Travis Head 47; Shardul Thakur 4\/34<\/strong>)
        LSG:<\/strong> 193\/5 in 16.1 overs (Nicholas Pooran 70; Pat Cummins 2\/29<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
