<p>In a crucial IPL 2025 clash held on May 24 at Lucknow, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) stunned Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) with a commanding 42-run victory. This result not only dented RCB’s momentum heading into the playoffs but also caused a shift in the top four rankings due to changes in Net Run Rate (NRR).</p>
<p>Put into bat first, SRH made the most of a batting-friendly surface. Ishan Kishan roared back to form with a match-defining unbeaten 94 off 48 deliveries. Abhishek Sharma’s quickfire 34, Klaasen’s fluent 24, and Aniket Verma’s blistering 26 off just 9 balls added to the carnage.</p>

<p>Despite a brief RCB fightback led by Romario Shepherd, SRH posted a massive 231/5 — one of the highest totals this season. In response, RCB started strong with Kohli and Salt attacking early, and Jitesh Sharma kept the chase alive in the middle overs.</p>
<p>But the turning point came in the 15th over, when Nitish Kumar Reddy and Eshan Malinga orchestrated a dramatic collapse. RCB crumbled from a dominant position, losing seven wickets for just 16 runs and were bowled out far short of the target.</p>

<p>The aftermath of this defeat saw significant movement in the points table. While both RCB and Punjab Kings remain tied at 17 points, RCB's Net Run Rate suffered, pushing them below Punjab.</p>
<p>Gujarat Titans stayed on top with 18 points and a healthy NRR, while Mumbai Indians remained fourth despite having a better NRR than both RCB and Punjab. SRH, already out of playoff contention, moved up to eighth place with 11 points, leapfrogging the Rajasthan Royals.</p>

<p>In a high-octane clash at Lucknow, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) defeated Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) by 42 runs in IPL 2025. Batting first after losing the toss, SRH posted a commanding total, thanks to a brilliant unbeaten 94 from Ishan Kishan. </p>
<p>In response, RCB looked strong early in the chase but collapsed dramatically in the final overs, folding for quite cheap and suffering a defeat that could dent their 'TOP 2' hopes.</p>
<h2><strong>RCB vs SRH Match Summary</strong></h2>
<p>SRH Innings: After losing the toss, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) were asked to bat first and turned the pressure into power on a batting-friendly Lucknow pitch. Abhishek Sharma blasted 34 off 17, while Travis Head gave solid support. Klaasen’s smooth 24 and Aniket Verma’s explosive 26 off just 9 balls kept the scoreboard ticking at high speed. </p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202505/image_430x256_6830b621b5860.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Though RCB pulled things back briefly with a couple of wickets and tight overs from Romario Shepherd, Ishan Kishan stole the show. Under fire for poor form, he answered in style with a masterful 94* off 48, anchoring the innings calmly while others played high-risk shots. His late blitz, along with Cummins, lifted SRH to a massive 231 — a total fitting the most high-scoring IPL season yet.</p>
<p>Chasing a daunting 232, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) began with a bang as Kohli and Salt lit up the powerplay, and Jitesh Sharma added momentum in the middle overs. At 14 overs in, they looked well on course. But the tide turned dramatically in the 15th over when part-timer Nitish Kumar Reddy bowled a tight spell, followed by a game-changing over from Eshan Malinga.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202505/image_430x256_6830b69c75268.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>After being expensive early on, Malinga returned with fire, executing perfect yorkers, finding reverse swing, and triggering a collapse by running out Patidar and dismissing Shepherd for a golden duck. What followed was a complete breakdown, with RCB losing their last seven wickets for just 16 runs. </p>
<p>From being in the hunt to suffering a 42-run defeat, RCB’s collapse was sudden and severe, hurting not just this match but possibly their entire campaign as their net run rate dipped below Punjab Kings.</p>

<p>Former Cricketer and head coach of the Indian Cricket Team Sanjay Bangar reflected on Gujarat Titans' (GT) defeat versus the Rishabh Pant-led Lucknow Super Giants and made a massive claim that this loss could possibily push Shubman Gill &amp; his men to the 3rd or even the 4th position in the overall standfings, highlighting that the 2022 winners must win their final league stage match versus CSK at all costs and hope that other competing teams drop points in-order to finish in the top 2.</p>

<p>The Gujarat bowling unit had a tough outing as Lucknow posted a mammoth score of 235-2 in 20 overs. In response, hard hitting batsman Shahrukh Khan slammed daazzling half century (57 runs in 29 deliveries), along with contributions from skipper Shubman Gill (35 runs), Sherfane Rutherford (38 runs) and wicketkeeper batter Jos Buttler (33 runs), which allowed their side to stay alive in the chase, however, it didn't prove to be enough as the 2022 winners fell short in the end by a margin of thirty-three runs.</p>
<p>Despite the loss, Gujarat are still sitting at the top of the table with eighteen points to their name in 13 contests. But there high chances of them getting dropped to either the 3rd or the 4th spot as Punjab &amp; RCB are scheduled to play two more games and they are ranked third &amp; second, respectively, with seventeen points each to their name. The Titans, however, have just one match left to play in the league stage.</p>
<p><strong>"After conceding 235 runs, the game became slightly out of reach for GT. However, the middle order – particularly Shahrukh and Sherfane Rutherford – brought them closer to the target. With 24 balls remaining and 54 runs required, along with 7 wickets in hand, the batting side would typically be favored these days. They will feel let down for not closing it out more convincingly. Now, they need to win the final match and rely on two other teams to drop points. This defeat could see them drop to third or even fourth position on the table," Sanjay Bangar stated on JioHotstar.</strong></p>
<p><strong>JioStar analyst Aakash Chopra also pointed out the challenge facing GT’s batting lineup as they approach the 2025 IPL play-offs, stating, "With Jos Buttler set to depart after the conclusion of the league stage, Kusal Mendis will take his place at No. 3. This adds further strain on Rutherford and Shahrukh. They performed well today, keeping GT competitive, but the larger concern is – what was the caliber of bowling they faced? In the play-offs, that level will be raised.</strong></p>
<p><strong>"Rahul Tewatia has not been impactful with the bat this season. And for the second consecutive match, GT’s top three did not surpass 50 runs – a trend that hadn't occurred all season. It’s concerning to see the top order losing momentum at such a critical juncture."</strong></p>
<p><br>Chopra further discussed how the top two spots may shuffle with the results of the remaining league fixtures.</p>
<p><strong>"A shift is on the horizon. In the match between RCB and PBKS, I anticipate that one of them will lose. The clash between MI and PBKS is also vital. Don't overlook SRH – they managed to defeat LSG and possess game-changers. A single significant performance, similar to Marsh’s today, can alter the situation. I wouldn't be astonished if the top four looks entirely different."</strong></p>
<p><strong>Bangar stated, "I don’t envision RCB dropping out of the top two. However, the second position remains quite competitive – Punjab Kings can definitely seize it."</strong></p>
<p>It was the masterclass of Mitch Marsh that helped the Super Giants secure a clinical win over the Gujarat-based side. He smacked his maiden hundred in the cash-rich t20 league (117 runs in 56 deliveries) which allowed his side to post a huge score of 235 runs on the board.</p>
<p>Aakash Chopra commended Marsh’s comeback this IPL, stating, “He was acquired at a low price in the mega auction – an absolute bargain – and that sometimes motivates a player. In the past, he had a hefty price tag with minimal output. This season, he’s approached the game differently. The pitch of Lucknow's Ekana Stadium is favorable for him – the ball comes onto the bat well. And those sixes? When he connects, they really clear the boundary. His shot selection has also improved significantly. He’s demonstrating true class."</p>

Gujarat Titans' 33-run loss to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) could drop them to third or fourth in the standings, according to Sanjay Bangar. Despite strong knocks from Shahrukh Khan (57) and Sherfane Rutherford (38), GT failed to chase LSG's 235-2, powered by Mitch Marsh’s maiden IPL ton (117*). Bangar stressed that GT must win their final match against CSK and rely on other results to secure a top-two finish. Aakash Chopra raised concerns over GT’s batting form, especially with Jos Buttler’s exit, and noted the tight playoff race involving RCB, Punjab Kings, and SRH. Marsh’s match-winning innings was hailed as a sign of his resurgence this season.

Former Indian cricketer and coach Sanjay Bangar analyzed Gujarat Titans' (GT) 33-run loss to Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), suggesting it could push GT to third or fourth in the standings.

<p><strong>GT vs LSG, Match No. 64: </strong>What a match! Gujarat Titans put in all their efforts, but all it went in vain as Lucknow Super Giants successfully defended 236 at the Narendra Modi Stadium. LSG rolled over the table topper GT by 33 runs.</p>
<p>A century by Marsh and a good supporting role by other batters helped LSG put a mammoth total on the board. Gujarat gave an equally power-packed response with the bat in hand, but LSG found good ways to shut GT in the death overs, and that is where GT lost it.</p>

<p>On a dry black-soil pitch in Ahmedabad, Lucknow Super Giants put on a batting show, scoring a massive 235 for 2 against Gujarat Titans. The star of the night was Mitchell Marsh, who played the best knock of his IPL career, a stunning 117 runs off just 64 balls.</p>
<p>It was his first IPL century and only the second in his T20 career. After a few shaky moments early on, Marsh found his rhythm and even smashed Rashid Khan for multiple boundaries in a single over. He built a strong 91-run stand with Aiden Markram (36 off 24), and then teamed up with Nicholas Pooran (56* off 27) to add 121 runs in quick time.</p>

<p>Pooran kept the momentum going with some big hits, while Rishabh Pant chipped in at the end with a short but explosive 16* off just 6 balls. By the end, LSG had set a huge total, sending a clear message with their power-packed batting.</p>
<p>Gujarat Titans began their chase of 236 with confidence, as their top order looked solid early on. With Akash Singh leaving the field after just one ball, Lucknow Super Giants were a bowler short, and it seemed like GT might cruise to the target. But the game quickly turned.</p>

<p>All three of GT’s top-order batters were dismissed within the first ten overs — the first time this season that none of them lasted until the 15th over. The pressure fell on the middle order, and Shahrukh Khan-Shephard briefly raised hopes with a strong effort.</p>
<p>Just when GT looked back in the game, Matt Henry O'Rourke struck twice in the 17th over to break their momentum. Avesh Khan, who had a rough start, returned with deadly low full tosses that pushed GT further behind. The lower middle order couldn’t step up once again, but full credit goes to LSG’s outstanding death bowling.</p>
<p>Even part-timer Ayush Badoni was trusted with the final over — and he delivered, picking up two wickets. In the end, Gujarat Titans were restricted to 202, falling short by 33 runs in a high-scoring thriller.</p>

<p>The TATA IPL 2025 playoff race got more intense after the clash between Lucknow Super Giants and Sunrisers Hyderabad. With this defeat, LSG are officially eliminated from the playoff race, managing only 5 wins in 12 games. Despite a spirited campaign, their inconsistency has cost them dearly.</p>
<p>The race for the final playoff spot is now narrowed down to a battle between the Mumbai Indians and the Delhi Capitals. With both teams closely matched on points, the remaining league matches are set to decide who joins Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, and Punjab Kings in the top four.</p>
<p>In their do-or-die clash against SRH, LSG began with promise. Mitchell Marsh and Aiden Markram gave Lucknow a flying start, stitching together a 108-run stand in the first 10 overs. Both openers registered brisk half-centuries at a strike rate of around 160. However, the middle order faltered after the strong start.</p>
<p>Captain Rishabh Pant's promotion ahead of Nicholas Pooran backfired, and barring Marsh, Markram, and Pooran, no other batter crossed double digits. A late flourish of 35 runs in the final two overs took LSG past the 200-run mark.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202505/image_430x256_682b7003b64f7.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>SRH’s chase started with Atharva Taide and Abhishek Sharma, and although Atharva departed early, Abhishek’s blitz in the powerplay set the tone, taking SRH to 72/1 after six overs. Digvesh Rathee briefly brought LSG back into the game with key wickets, but Heinrich Klaasen and Kamindu Mendis rebuilt steadily.</p>
<p>Despite Mendis pulling up with a hamstring injury and Klaasen falling late, Aniket Verma held his nerve to take SRH home with 6 wickets in hand. The result not only gave SRH a consolation win but also confirmed LSG’s elimination.</p>

<p><strong>LSG vs SRH, Match No- 61: </strong>In a crucial encounter at Lucknow’s Ekana Stadium, Sunrisers Hyderabad locked horns with Lucknow Super Giants in a high-stakes IPL clash. SRH won the toss and opted to bowl first.</p>
<p>At the end of an entertaining contest, it was Sunrisers Hyderabad who came out on top, defeating Lucknow Super Giants by 6 wickets and knocking them out of the playoff race.<strong></strong></p>
<h2><strong>LSG vs SRH Match Highlights</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Toss: </strong>SRH won the toss and asked LSG to bat first.</p>
<p><strong>LSG Playing11: </strong>Mitchell Marsh, Aiden Markram, Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant (c &amp; wk), Ayush Badoni, Abdul Samad, Akash Deep, Avesh Khan, Ravi Bishnoi, Digvesh Singh Rathi, William O'Rourke (Impact- Shardul Thakur)</p>
<p><strong>SRH Playing11: </strong>Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan (wk), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Heinrich Klaasen, Aniket Verma, Kamindu Mendis, Pat Cummins (c), Harshal Patel, Harsh Dubey, Zeeshan Ansari, Eshan Malinga (Impact- Atharv Taide)</p>
<p>Mitch Marsh and Markram’s opening duo gave a flying start to Lucknow’s innings. The two openers smashed 108 runs in the first 10 overs without losing any wickets. Mitch Marsh posted another fifty in typical "Marshy" fashion, and Markram played his role perfectly, with both batters scoring 60-odd runs at a strike rate of around 160.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202505/image_430x256_682b70090ade7.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>The openers set the platform, but LSG lost their way after the 10-over mark. Pant promoting himself ahead of Pooran backfired. Marsh, Markram, and Pooran were the only three batters from the LSG camp to register double-digit scores. However, 35 runs from the last 2 overs helped Lucknow Super Giants cross the 200-run mark.</p>
<p>SRH began their chase with impact substitute Atharva Taide and Abhishek Sharma. LSG got rid of Atharva in the second over, but Abhishek Sharma proved to be the real threat. His early fireworks powered SRH to 72 runs in the powerplay, putting them firmly in control.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202505/image_430x256_682b7006b8b05.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Digvesh Rathee, however, dismissed both Abhishek and Ishan Kishan, giving LSG a glimmer of hope. But Klaasen and Kamindu didn't let LSG turn the game around. The two batters showed patience and intent when it mattered most. Though Thakur found the edge of Klaasen and Kamindu Mendis pulled his hamstring, Aniket Verma ensured the result went SRH’s way. Sunrisers Hyderabad defeated Lucknow Super Giants by 6 wickets.</p>
<p>This loss not only cost LSG two valuable points at this stage but also eliminated them from the playoff race. LSG has now won 5 and lost 7 matches. Even if they win their remaining two games, it won’t be enough to make the cut. However, they could still play the role of party spoilers for the Mumbai Indians.</p>

LSG vs SRH: Sun Sets on Lucknow: SRH Crushed LSG's Playoff Hopes

Sunrisers Hyderabad chased down over 200 to defeat Lucknow Super Giants by 6 wickets, eliminating LSG from playoff contention despite a strong opening stand by Marsh and Markram.

SRH beat LSG by 6 wickets, knocking them out of the playoff race after chasing 200+ despite Marsh-Markram heroics.

<p>The TATA IPL 2025 league stage is heating up as we near the business end of the tournament. As of May 19, Sai Sudharsan has taken the lead in the Orange Cap race with 617 runs, while Rajasthan Royals' pacer Prasidh Krishna tops the Purple Cap standings with 21 wickets. Sunday’s double-header saw thrilling performances and major shuffles in both leaderboards.</p>
<p>In the first match of Super Sunday, Punjab Kings posted a formidable 219/5 after recovering from early blows. Nehal Wadhera played a gritty knock of 70, while Shashank Singh added firepower with an unbeaten 59.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202505/image_430x256_6829e249def85.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Rajasthan Royals started the chase aggressively, making full use of the powerplay. However, despite Dhruv Jurel's late fightback, Punjab’s disciplined bowling attack sealed a crucial victory for the Kings, strengthening their position in the mid-table contest.</p>
<p>The second match saw KL Rahul’s brilliance on display for Delhi Capitals as he smashed an unbeaten 112 off just 65 balls—marking the highest individual score against Gujarat Titans in IPL history. Delhi put up 199/3 on the board. But GT’s openers, Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan, put on a batting masterclass in reply.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202505/image_430x256_682a19e467694.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Both scored unbeaten centuries in a record 10-wicket win, finishing the chase with balls to spare. Their stunning performance not only secured victory but also elevated them to the top two spots in the Orange Cap race.</p>
<h2><strong>IPL 2025 Orange Cap</strong></h2>
<p>The race for the Orange Cap has never been tighter. Gujarat Titans’ dynamic duo—Sai Sudharsan and Shubman Gill—have leapfrogged others with successive centuries. Suryakumar Yadav and Virat Kohli follow closely, boasting both high averages and impactful strike rates. Jos Buttler and KL Rahul also remain strong contenders with their consistency and match-winning knocks.</p>
