Hyderabad sent Lucknow to bat first in their encounter at the Ekana Stadium, and the pair of Markram and Marsh were brilliant. Pooran added his flavour to the assault and took the team to a total of 205. In response, Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen were right on the money today with their shot selections, and it turned out to be an easy victory for them by six wickets with 10 balls to spare.
With this, Lucknow registered their seventh loss of the season and were knocked out of the race for the playoffs in IPL 2025. Three teams - Gujarat, Bengaluru and Punjab, have already cemented their places while the race for the fourth spot is still active between Mumbai and Delhi. They are both going to face each other in their next game, making it a virtual quarterfinal, with the winner of the game to proceed in the tournament.
