Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) made a dramatic comeback to the third rank in the IPL 2024 standings with a convincing 10-wicket victory over Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in their most recent match.

At the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, the potent combination of Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma wrecked havoc on the Lucknow Super Giants' bowling attack. Following a low scoring target of 166, the pair, who were both left-handed specialists, hit the target with ease in just 9.4 overs, sealing an emphatic victory.

Choosing to bat first, KL Rahul's LSG struggled to build momentum and suffered early losses in their innings. They ended the innings at 165/4 in 20 overs, despite late contributions from Nicholas Pooran (48) and Ayush Badoni (55). The most impressive player for the SRH was Bhuvneshwar Kumar, who took two wickets for just 12 runs in his allotted four overs.

With this overwhelming victory, SRH's standings position is strengthened and their net run rate (+0.406) is significantly increased, positioning them favourably for a postseason spot. With 12 games played and 14 points gained, they are well-positioned to solidify their standing with a win.
