Abhishek finds form, SRH end LSG's playoff hopes

|May 20, 2025
For the second successive season, Lucknow Super Giants failed to make it to the playoffs of the Indian Premier League, after the six-wicket loss to Sunrisers Hyderabad in their penultimate home game on Monday.
LUCKNOW:
With just 10 points in 11 matches going into the game against Sunrisers, LSG desperately needed to win to stay in contention for the playoffs. They seemed to raise hopes after posting 205, but they could not pose any problem for SRH, who romped home with 10 balls to spare, winning by six wickets.
Opener Abhishek Sharma showed his might with willow, hitting his second half-century of the season to keep SRH going well in the run chase as the side raced to 72 in the first six overs. His 20-ball 59 (4x4, 6x6) made the difference after SRH lost opener Atharva Taide (13) in the second over.
