Lucknow Super Giants clinched their first win of IPL 2026 with a nail-biting five-wicket triumph over Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on 5 April. Chasing 157, captain Rishabh Pant anchored the innings with a measured 53* off 47 balls, sealing victory with a lofted four off Jaydev Unadkat on the penultimate delivery. Earlier, Heinrich Klaasen (57 off 38) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (52 off 32) rescued SRH from 22-3 to 156-9, but Mohammed Shami’s miserly 2-9 and Digvesh Rathi’s early strikes ensured LSG controlled the death overs. Key takeaways for fantasy and points-table watchers: • Pant’s return to No. 3 paid off; expect him to stay there against Kolkata next week. • Shami’s economy (2.25) is the best among pacers who have bowled 10+ overs this season. • Klaasen-Reddy’s 116-run stand is now SRH’s highest for the fifth wicket, underlining their middle-order reliance. Updated standings: LSG climb to fifth with two points and a net run rate of +0.12, while SRH slip to seventh. Chennai Super Kings meet Royal Challengers Bengaluru tonight in the southern derby; a CSK win could create a mid-table logjam. What’s next in IPL 2026: • 6 Apr – Kolkata Knight Riders vs Punjab Kings, Eden Gardens • 7 Apr – Gujarat Titans vs Delhi Capitals, Ahmedabad Full fixture list and real-time results are available on the official tournament portal.
