LSG vs SRH: “Not Enough Runs..”, Skipper Aiden Markram Reflects Why SRH Lost Game vs LSG

LSG vs SRH: The 10th game of the 16th edition of the Indian Premier League saw the Lucknow Super Giants lock horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. It was a low-scoring contest, with LSG registering their second win on their home ground. It was a captaincy debut for Aiden Markram for SRH, and he won the toss and decided to bat first. But that decision totally backfired on them.

Sunrisers lost wickets at regular intervals and managed only 121/8 in 20 overs. Rahul Tripathi (35) and Anmolpreet Singh (31) were the top scorers for the Orange Army. Markram got out on the golden duck. The LSG spinners were too good for SRH and took six out of eight wickets to fall. Krunal Pandya was the star with the ball, taking 3/18 in his four overs. The 41-year-old leg-spinner Amit Mishra also bowled well for his 2/23.

Chasing the target, LSG also had a few hiccups in the middle. But the third-wicket partnership between KL Rahul and Krunal Pandya assured the win for them. LSG reached 127/5 in 16 overs and won by five wickets with four overs to spare. After taking three wickets, Krunal also played an important inning of 34 off 23 with four boundaries and one six. After the game, the SRH skipper highlighted the reason why they lost the game. In the post-match presentation, Markram said,

Furthermore, he also backed the team and said that the bowlers fought well despite a low target. SRH will face Punjab Kings in their next game on Sunday, April 9 at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad. After losing two out of two, it will be a must-win match for the Orange Army. On the other hand, PBKS is sky-high with two wins out of two. On that, Markram said that they can definitely turn the tables against them on Sunday.
