SRH Crawl to 35/4 at Halfway Mark as LSG Tighten Grip
Sunrisers Hyderabad continue to struggle for momentum, reaching just 35/4 in 10 overs against Lucknow Super Giants in their IPL 2026 encounter at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
After losing early wickets, Heinrich Klaasen (8 off 13) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (4 off 13) are trying to rebuild, but the scoring rate remains sluggish with a current run rate of just 3.5. The pair has added 9 runs off 17 balls, focusing on consolidation rather than aggression.
Lucknow’s disciplined bowling attack has kept the pressure firmly on SRH. Prince Yadav has been particularly impressive, conceding just 1 run and picking up a wicket, while Manimaran Siddharth has also bowled economically.
Earlier, key strikes from Mohammed Shami and Digvesh Singh Rathi dismantled the SRH top order, leaving them in a difficult position.
With half the innings gone and wickets in hand, SRH will need a significant acceleration in the remaining overs to post a competitive total.
