Sunrisers Hyderabad, after a dominant performance with destructive batting in the first match, disappointed in the second match.

Today, in the match against Lucknow Super Giants, Sunrisers Hyderabad lost by 5 wickets. The target of 192 runs set by the Hyderabad team was chased down by Lucknow Super Giants in just 16.1 overs, losing 5 wickets.

In the Lucknow team, Nicholas Pooran and Mitchell Marsh played explosive cricket, making it difficult for Sunrisers' bowlers to control the game. Pooran, in particular, was sensational, scoring 70 runs off just 26 balls, including 6 fours and 6 sixes. On the other end, Mitchell Marsh also played aggressively, scoring 52 runs off 31 balls, with 7 fours and 2 sixes.

Although Sunrisers' captain Pat Cummins dismissed both Pooran and Marsh in quick succession, the damage had already been done. The partnership between Pooran and Marsh added a massive 116 runs for the second wicket, which left Sunrisers with little hope of winning.

Lucknow's captain Rishabh Pant (15) and Ayush Badoni (5) were dismissed for low scores, but Abdul Samad (22* off 8 balls with 2 fours and 2 sixes) and David Miller (13* not out) finished the job. For Sunrisers, Cummins took 2 wickets, Mohammad Shami, Adam Zampa, and Harshal Patel each took 1 wicket.

Abdul Samad, who had played for Sunrisers in the previous seasons, was released by them during the auction and bought by Lucknow Super Giants. He turned out to be the match-winner for Lucknow in this game.
