5 Apr
Summary
- Ishan Kishan's wicket-keeping crucial in key dismissals.
- SRH posted 156/9 despite a top-order collapse.
- Klaasen and Nitish Reddy partnership was vital.

Sunrisers Hyderabad set a target of 157 runs against Lucknow Super Giants following a competitive encounter at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. After being put in to bat, Hyderabad faced early trouble as the visitors' bowling attack, led by Mohammed Shami and Prince Yadav, removed openers Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head quickly. Stand-in captain Ishan Kishan also fell early, leaving the team in a difficult position.
A record-breaking fifth-wicket partnership between Heinrich Klaasen and Nitish Reddy revived the innings. The duo added 116 runs, marking the highest stand for the fifth wicket or lower in the team's history. Both batsmen reached half-centuries to push the total past the 100-run mark. Reddy contributed a brisk 56 off 33 balls before being dismissed by M Siddharth, while Klaasen top-scored with 62 runs from 41 deliveries.
