Second Innings

Chasing 206, Sunrisers Hyderabad lost Atharva Taide early (in the 2nd over) at 13. However, another opener, Abhishek Sharma, shifted his gears and started smashing LSG bowlers. He completed his half-century off just 18 balls. However, it was Digvesh Singh who removed him at 59 in the next over. After Abhishek's dismissal, Heinrich Klaasen and Ishan Kishan took SRH's innings closer to the mountain-like target. However, Klaasen missed the opportunity of hitting fifty and fell short by 3 runs. But, in the end, it was Sunrisers Hyderabad which took away the game from Lucknow Super Giants and won by 6 wickets, officially eliminating them from the Playoffs race.
