Krunal Pandya leads with both bat and ball as Lucknow Super Giants beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by five wickets in the 2023 Indian Premier League.

Pandya ended with figures of 4/18 off his four overs and scored 34 off 23 balls to build a 50-run partnership with KL Rahul.

The all-rounder removed both SRH openers with his spin, setting the tone for the rest of the bowling innings.

LSG bowled 15 consecutive overs of spin as Amit Mishra, Yash Thakur, and Ravi Bishnoi combined for four wickets. They hit their mark on almost every ball as it was a masterclass in spin bowling from the Super Giants.

Rahul Tripathi top scored for SRH with 34 off 41 deliveries, but it was a poorly managed innings on a difficult batting pitch. The hosts took their time with the bat, knowing they needed just 122 runs to win back-to-back home games.

Mayers and Hooda were out for 13 and seven, respectively, but Rahul and Pandya built a strong partnership to take the game away from the visitors. The skipper was trapped for LBW by Adil Rashid, who also got Romario Sheppard out on the very next ball.

Nicholas Pooran scored the winning runs with a huge six as LSG cruised to an easy victory. They move to the top of the IPL table while SRH remain in last with an even worse net run rate.

LSG 11th over (91/2): The fans inside the stadium are increasing their volume as they can sense the win is not too far away. LSG have put on a very professional performance.

LSG 10th over (82/2): There is no panic in the LSG dugout at the moment as Rahul and Pandya are scoring with ease. The fielding from SRH has not been great.

LSG 9th over (72/2): Rashid was heading for an economical over, but Pandya hits a six down the ground off the final ball. This could be a matter of damage control now for SRH.

LSG 6th over (45/2): Markram will be slightly happier now as Kumar ends with a wicket. If they can dismiss Rahul soon, this game could become interesting.

WICKET! Kumar is back into the attack and gets a wicket on the final ball of the powerplay! Hooda is caught and bowled as SRH are starting to apply some pressure on LSG.

LSG 5th over (39/1): Hooda is at the crease with Rahul now after the wicket of Mayers. Farooqi could have a big impact in this game for SRH.

WICKET! There it is! Farooqi gets the wicket of Mayers! The batter looks for a big shot on the leg side, but picks out the only fielder in the deep. Agarwal takes the catch.

LSG 4th over (35/0): Markram brings himself in to bowl as SRH look for a breakthrough in the powerplay, but Rahul and Mayers are keeping their cool in the middle.

LSG 3rd over (29/0): Fazalhaq Farooqi has a very good over for SRH to lower LSG's run rate, but the key for the visitors is wickets. The longer they go without one, the quicker the defeat will arrive.

LSG 2nd over (24/0): Markram turns to spinner Washington Sundar in the second over after what happened in the first innings, but Rahul and Kyle Mayers are two batters on great form right now. SRH need to start getting some wickets.

LSG 1st over (13/0): The hosts are off to a very good start thanks to a boundary from KL Rahul and five wides from Bhuvneshwar Kumar.

SRH 20th over (121/8): Samad scores two sixes off the final over against Unadkat to set Lucknow Super Giants a total of 122 to win. The spinners, Pandya in particular, have been the key so far in this game.

WICKET! Umran is run out without facing a single ball! He tried to push for two but the throw from Hooda was too good. Five balls to go.

SRH 19th over (108/7): Umran Malik and Samad have to go all out for these last six balls now. It has been a demolition job from the LSG bowlers so far, with the spinners bowling 15 consecutive overs.

WICKET! Mishra ends his spell with a second wicket as this time Rashid is caught by Hooda. The spinner has 168 wickets in the IPL now.

WICKET! Mishra gets his first wicket of the match as Sundar walks back to the dressing room. The batter had no choice but to play a big shot, but Hooda takes a composed catch in the deep.

SRH 18th over (102/5): The visitors finally reach the 100-run mark with just two overs to go in the innings. It will be interesting to see if Rahul goes back to seam for the final 12 balls.

WICKET! Mishra takes a wonderful diving catch as Yash Thakur dismisses Triphathi. The batter scored 34 off 41 balls as LSG are in full control of this game.

SRH 17th over (92/4): Tripathi plays a good switch-hit to score a boundary against Mishra, but the eight runs from the over still is not enough for SRH to set a defendable total.

SRH 16th over (84/4): Pandya finishes with figures of 3/18 from his fours overs as he is an early contender for player of the match. He ripped through the SRH top order, giving his team-mates a lot of confidence with the ball to do the same.

SRH 15th over (83/4): You can see that the Sunrisers batters are trying to go more aggressive but LSG are not giving away any easy runs at the moment. Five overs to go in the innings.

SRH 14th over (76/4): Bishnoi is getting a lot of spin on the ball and Washington Sundar cannot connect with any of the deliveries. This is a masterclass in spin from LSG.

SRH 13th over (72/4): Veteran spinner Amit Mishra is hit for three runs in the 13th over as SRH are finding it very difficult out there at the moment. They will be wishing that they chose to bowl first.

SRH 12th over (69/4): It is clear that SRH are focusing on picking up quick singles as they are struggling to time the ball to the boundary rope. The LSG players are very calm at the moment.

SRH 11th over (65/4): Bishnoi has conceded just 12 runs from his three overs so far. KL Rahul is managing this innings really well, getting his bowling selection close to perfection.

SRH 10th over (63/4): Deepak Hooda continues the spin bowling for LSG but fails to make the same impact as his team-mates. Tripathi scores a well-timed boundary off the final delivery.

SRH 9th over (55/4): The LSG spinners are taking wickets at good intervals while keeping the pressure on the visitors by getting through their overs quickly.

WICKET! Brook is gone after being stumped by Pooran off the bowling of Bishnoi! He comes down the track looking to end the over well, but takes his eye off the ball.

SRH 8th over (50/3): Harry Brook is now out in the middle for SRH with Tripathi as these two batters need to build a partnership now.

WICKET! Pandya gets two in two as Markram is bowled out! He completely misses the line of the ball and the bails go flying!

WICKET! This time the review cannot save Anmolpreet as Pandya traps him for LBW! The replays showed the ball clipping the stumps, allowing the on-field umpire to stay with his decision.

SRH 7th over (48/1): Bishnoi has a very economical first over as he stops both batters from hitting any boundaries. SRH are trying to keep the runs ticking with singles but they need to be more aggressive.

SRH 6th over (43/1): Yash concedes two boundaries off the final over of the powerplay as SRH look to push their run rate on. Anmolpreet was also given out by the umpire for LBW, but the review showed the ball was missing the stumps.

SRH 5th over (33/1): Pandya has a more expensive over this time around as Anmolpreet looks to attack on the front foot.

SRH 4th over (24/1): The LSG bowlers are hitting their mark and restricting the runs well in the powerplay. SRH need to keep their heads and not lose any more wickets.

SRH 3rd over (21/1): It is certainly not the start that SRH would have wanted. They have scored just two boundaries in three overs and lost a wicket.

WICKET! Krunal Pandya gets the first wicket of the match as Agarwal heads back to the dugout. He plays a lazy shot and chips the ball to Stoinis.

SRH 2nd over (15/0): Anmolpreet ends the second over with a big six on the leg side after Unadkat misses his line and length. That is the first boundary of the match.

SRH 1st over (6/0): The visitors are off to a decent start as they score six runs of Mayers' over. They are trying hard to run between the wickets.

30 mins from first ball: SRH win the toss and they decide to bat first!

60 mins from first ball: SRH need to get a win on the board and they will also want to improve their net run rate after a heavy defeat in the first game.

The time is now ⏱️
